Al, 9/11 is important because GW and his goons would not have been able to get away with Iraq and their militant approach to world matters if it weren't for 9/11. Oh...I am not sure. They would have cooked up another reason. So you're saying that when Bush campaigned on a non imperial US, he was just playing with us and he had every intention of pushing our muscle around in the world? The fact that they urged Clinton to do it proves today that that they are nothing but premeditated gangsters. Certainly, the guys behind Bush are out to change the layout of the world. And I don't think liberals have become pseudo hawks...I think they have been made fearful by well orchestrated propaganda. That's why I call them psuedo hawks. Plus the country suffers this post Vietnam extreme guilt syndrome, which all but guarantees the fact that an administration engaging troops in a war, regardless of the ethics of that war, will have the general population frenzied in support of flag and military. It has become a very dangerous problem. I still think Americans bought into it because of 9/11. I think the days of Vietnam are long gone. If we hadn't been attacked, I don't believe that Bush would have had as easy a time of it going to war. Then again, I live in a fairly liberal area but maybe in TX, they're ready to go to war at the drop of a hat. ted
