Children who have empathy for others don't kill. Where do they learn empathy? At home from their mothers. Where are their mothers? Out working to pay for the exorbitant cost of living because their stupid ex peter pan husbands were just too upset with the thought of being responsible.The moms are also paying for the drugs they have to give their children to keep them calm in school because they weren't given the love and caring that makes them empathetic so they don't turn into KILLERS. That's what.

Isn't it interesting how great leaders react to American tragedy. Now that we have a President that is basking in the limelight of an attack on US soil and making jokes about his trifecta, it is amazing because without this attack on US citizens, he would have already been run out of town on a rail. How lucky can one man get? Born with a silver spoon up his nose, bailed out of company going belly up and the bailers readily admitting that they were bailing him out because his father was a politcal figurehead, and then he bails out of company stock only weeks before they report disasterous earnings...basically, you have to say this man was a total business failure that made his millions because of governmental largesse that he now finds offensive. But back to the original premise! In 2002 we are attacked and the President quickly labels anyone who questions him...as being unAmerican. But then we were attacked at Pearl Harbor...a GREAT leader like Roosevelt immediately formed a review panel to find out what was wrong with the system set up to PROTECT all Americans.. "If the public united behind Roosevelt and Churchill in the war effort, almost from the first there were serious questions raised about the attack that had brought America into the world conflict. Who was accountable for the disaster? Was it avoidable? Why had the Japanese attacked? Had there been any American provocation? And why had Pearl Harbor's able Navy and Army commanders, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel and General Walter Short, been caught off guard? Why were they quickly retired under unusual circumstances? To head off congressional and public criticism, Roosevelt hastily appointed a special commission to investigate the attack. Chaired by Associate Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts, a leading supporter of the pro-interventionist Committee to Aid America by Aiding the Allies, the President had no fear that the commission would do anything to compromise the spirit of unity that now prevailed. Justice Roberts completed his report on Friday, January 23, 1942
