Dear ***,
Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001, the day terrorists attacked us? Do you remember that happening?
You, like many others, are ignorant fools. “Bush lied, people died” is the typical mantra of those who choose not to understand that peace in the Mideast is an oxymoron – it will never happen. History has taught us this.
Yes, Bush was president when the attacks occurred, but he had only been in office barely a year. Events were already in play when the towers fell. The “beloved” president Clinton was golfing when the USS Cole was attacked, and instead of launching an investigation and reprimanding those who attacked us, he finished his golf game and had an affair with a less-than-attractive woman. The Lewinsky affair was his way of avoiding the real roles of his presidency – and making sure the media stayed away from the USS Cole scandal.
You, like many others, have absolutely no respect for those who were killed on 9-11 and for that I feel very sorry for you.
Unlike you, I remember 9-11 – I watched the towers fall. My little cousins had to grow up across the street from the makeshift morgue. And since day one I have supported the war on terror – and supported, whole-heartedly, our troops. I pay for this every day, when people like you make rude comments like this – or when they throw things at my car for supporting the troops.
Furthermore, Hopalong C, did you realize this man served our country for 30 years? That means he was part of other administrations not just Bush’s.
I am not sticking up for Bush. He has fallen short of everything I had hoped he would do. But your comments attacking the memory of 9-11 victims are completely out of line.
Please get your facts straight before kibitzing. This war is not about oil, or about Bush’s “lies,” or even about your right to spew hatred for our troops and our fellow Americans. This war is about making sure terror never touches us or any other parts of the world again.
If you do not support the war, you do not support freedom. It’s that simple.
Your comments personally offend me. I am not a religious person, but as of now, I pray for your soul.
