9/11 was his call to glory. the towers falling gave him the excuse he needed to do everything short of declaring martial law, maybe that will be his parting shot as he leaves office. by declaring a never ending war on terror he has guarantied his holy war will be here long after he is gone. his legacy will most likely be one of death in the name of god and country (in that order).

yes, we are to blame. we started by choosing a fool and compounded our error by yielding to our blood lust and letting him get four more years closer to his blessed rapture. we're to blame and it started long before this little pisser. we've been giving away our freedom almost since this country was first formed. power brokers have bought our rights with comfort and have turned the great american dream into just another pale imitation of the utopia our forefathers hoped to create.

i include myself in this nightmare. even though i take pride in the fact i have never taken part in this sham we call our electoral process, i find myself damned by my own hubris. i became complacent along with everyone else, even though i knew better, and now we're all damned. we should have thrown the bombs when we had the chance.

in case you missed it. my response to your last question is the title.
