An open letter to Dick Cheney on the anniversary of my daughter's murder By Donna Marsh O'Connor Mother of Vanessa Lang Langer, WTC, Tower II, 93rd floor Thank you for warning me about my vote for John Kerry. My daughter was murdered on 9/11/2001 and I cannot tell you how I would have appreciated such a clear warning before. Before that day, there were warnings, clear warnings, but they only reached the desk of George W. Bush. And I note he did nothing to stop the events of 9/11. Nothing. There were other warnings during Clinton's tenure--some, though they were perhaps more coded than your recent missive, came in the form of Ken Starr's investigation of Clinton. Did I read this as a warning then? No. Was this money well spent by the Republicans? Could we Americans afford this kind of investigation, knowing how much we needed Clinton to be free to pursue more pressing issues? No. Should I have read in my lack of understanding of the import of the Ken Starr investigation that there was something you people wanted to have occur? Was this a deliberate distraction? I ask these questions now because the Bush/Cheney administration and all of your followers are the greatest beneficiaries of the events post-9/11, and I take your warning as an indication of what you guys will bring to America if Kerry wins. Get this clear, Mr. Cheney, what you guys will bring to America. I take your warning as an admission of your ties to that event. Even, no especially, if that admission is not what you intended. So thank you, once again. But know this, I will never again watch my values, and the values of my fellow Americans be trampled on by so much corruption, duplicity and hate without speaking out. You are not a Republican. You have shamed Republicans. And many of them, I pray, will be voting with me, in hope as well as fear, for John Forbes Kerry.
