Reply #1: Excellent rant!! I've been making that point to my friends for the last 5

[file83]

years: Bush gave the terrorists EVERYTHING by announcing that the 9/11 attacks had "forever changed our world".

fuck that!

9/11 changed NOTHING except for what we changed OURSELVES by our own decisions.

WE (our gov't) passed the Patriot Act - not the terrorists
WE passed the National ID Act - not the terrorists
WE Invaded a sovereign nation illegally - not the terrorists
WE failed the people of New Orleans - not the terrorists
WE have put this country into the biggest debt in history - not the terrorists
WE have been spying on our own citizens via the NSA - not the terrorists

the list goes on and on...

9/11 was just bad airport security. Change one rule: no box cutters or cutting instruments on board:

problem solved
