<<...It seems obvious to me that big and important issues, like the Bush economic policy and the first preemptive war in U.S. history, should have been debated more thoroughly in the Congress and covered more extensively in the news media and better presented to the American people before our nation made such fateful choices. But that didn't happen. And now in both cases, reality is turning out to be very different from the impressions that were given when the votes and the die were cast...>> Al Gore is a bright man (who NEVER would have let the NeoCONS hijack his Administration) and I'm convinced we would be much safer IF he had been elected president. I'm glad he is starting to speak out again. It wouldn't surprise me if he jumps into the Presidential race...We'll soon find out.

The United States was attacked on September 11, 2001, because of the presence of a relatively large numbers of U.S. troops stationed in Saudi Arabia - used primarily to "contain" Saddam's Iraq, and to enforce UN Sanctions against the Government of Iraq.
