George Bush protecting your civil liberties by breaking them

Holmes has said what I would like to have said myself, if I could only write a good message.I will add, that I think the greatest harm that the terrorism events of 9/11 et all have caused, is that they have triggered the responses of the GWB administration and their supporters.GWB is screwing up the US in ways that the terrorist could never do. And I think the terrorists are smart enough not to interfere with GWB's efforts.Moose

I did read that message 27, although I tend to have a short attention span and the mind may have wandered before I got to the end. Also have a crappy memory. My impression is that Osama and the such are not concerned about our freedoms and liberties, other than how such may influence how we execute our "way of life". We use and abuse much of the rest of the world to further our own greedy self-interests. To a great degree, much of the rest of the world, including terrorists, have much to legitimately hate about the U.S, and GWB has only added to it.But this is getting rather badly off-topic.Perhaps you would be up to starting a new topic on those "kind and benevolent" organizations such as the World Trade Organization (Center???) and World Bank. Through economic (and supporting military) actions, the U.S. and others have a substantial history of inflicting socio/economic terrorism/warfare on peoples of the world.There is always the big question "Do evil acts by one party justify evil acts by others"? Osama apparently thinks yes, and is he totally wrong?Mooseps: Listening to the Dead Kennedys "best of" collection "Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death". Right now, the war is good for the economy rant "Kinky Sex Makes The World Go Round".Added by edit: Tune available at http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=8801&starttime=0:54:15 (require RealAudio).This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 12-22-2005 06:10 PM
