Anniversary of that fateful day

Everyone older then 7 knows what happened on this day 7 years ago - you don't need me to remind you. The most influential day in our history , and if you can stand the use of an over used cliche - the day that changed history.

So much has changed in our world since that day, and it is not likely that we will ever be able to revert back to how we lived our lives prior to 9/11 - this is the new reality.

I'm a Canadian so I have a different outlook on this situation simply because I do not reside in the US. Your troops are stuck in a quagmire of a war with no end in sight - and that makes me feel sad for the troops. Men and women who are just doing their jobs and find themselves in the middle of a cluster F*** because of inept politicians.

There are people out there that fully believe and stand behind the logic and rationale applied by George Bush when it came to starting the wars - I speak of both Iraq and Afghanistan. There are others out there the "conspiracy theorists" that state that 9/11 was just one move in an intricate game of chess executed by the global elite.

Where is the truth? No one knows for sure. The one thing I would like to state is that when an emotional and traumatic event such as 9/11 happens it is doubly important that we don't let our thoughts and emotions get effected by the adrenaline of the situation. We need to let logical rationale thinking, and the asking of questions be our moral compass through the difficult times. It is when we dismiss outright the opinions and points of view contrary to ours that we show our ignorance.

Voting for this post simply shows that you too agree.

US Military Intelligence ?????

The guy who is in charge of intelligence gathering for the US Government has a pretty secure job. I mean hey it does not matter if you screw up - take a look at the latest Iran debacle.

For months/years we have been hearing how Iran will have the bomb and it is up to George Bush and everyone who loves America, to bomb the bejesus out of Iran before they attack us. This nuclear attack from Iran seemed immenient - we had to strike first. Hold the phone Martha- Seems that the information that was used to determine if Iran was a threat or not, may not have been accurate.

May Not Have been Accurate????! Would someone not think that if you have the possibility of leading your country into another war that you would have researched all possible angles? Guess not. So if you're keeping score at home we have - 1 currently active war based on bad information ( i.e hidden weapon caches of all sorts of nasty things ) 1 currently active war based primarily on finding Osma Bin Laden ( wanted dead or alive - to quote George W) and one very possible war based on excessive saber rattling and bad info with Iran

Talk about job security -
Conversation between head of US Intelligence and the President probably goes something like this...

Sorry George it seems Saddam did not have any WMD, and it looks like Iran is clean too, we can't find Osma - we've looked everywhere - currently we are scanning the employment roster of 7-11 for possible suspects

No worries - keep up the good work - we'll find/fabricate something - there's big money in war don't you know


Does anyone else find this concerning? If these decisions where coming from a third world country , whose army consists of shepherds with pointy sticks , that would be one thing. But this is coming from the lone superpower in the world. Now are you concerned????

Have to go buy a shovel so I can start digging my bomb shelter in the backyard. I'm on Humor Blogs.com Vote for me for world peace.
