Reply #11: We will not forget--and some of them will not remember. [View All]

Their votes were forgotten as soon as made--there was no thought besides the framing and the clamor of chattering talking head teeth:

"9/11 changed everything."

"There is a war on."

"The President is trying to keep us safe."

"We have to give him the tools he needs."

The needs of the people, the actual power to unite with their interests in mind, to strengthen the country in ways that count, were ignored in favor of chasing a dragon (or a chimera...or a snipe) in Iraq. An opportunity was missed, because it was not seen.

Trying to set them straight, to make them see the blown opportunities, the waste of lives and money, the sheer weight of the negligence, bad intelligence, misgovernment, and all around foolishness, will be difficult for some, who never guessed that they had the ability to stop it all. Creatures of the political machine, they rolled with the daily message of "Support the war of terror" and never guessed that the fight...was horror. That the dry actions taking place on paper, were physical nightmares for others elsewhere. The connection was never made.

And when the finger is pointed, they really will ask--

"Who, me?"
