Thanks to Bush, the world today thinks we deserved 9/11
Worse, the world thinks we deserve another 9/11. And another.

That's the Bush legacy. The Arab world will seek a catastrophic revenge for this torture in Iraq. Nudity is sacred for Muslims, Bush really opened the gates of hell this time.

1. That's the problem....
IF there is another staged event...the entire world will sit back and
nod in agreement. Given our deplorable and completely UNCIVILIZED
behavior...we DESERVE all the blowback that is headed our way.

But guess what...we, the People, will be losing our civil liberties
even further and we will be living in a prison run by facists.
We need to stop this train wreck before it happens.

7. Yes, but we have to decide if we are plants or if we
can determine our future.

8. Unfortunately, I believe you are right.
Think of all the innocent people, throughout history, who were victims of bad decisions made on their behalf. Look at WWII.

Also, I do not expect any Al-Qaida operatives to bypass me, just because I am on the side of good. They'll just as gladly blow me to Kingdom Come as well as my neighbor, because we're a part of the Satanic West. Why would they?

And we should definitely expect some kind of retribution, if not from Al-Qaida, then in the form of reaping what we sowed or Bad Karma.

At the very least, we should have kept our friends. Who knows? One day, we might need the good graces of tiny Madagascar, or maybe little Puerto Rico. Remember the Aesop's fable about the mouse and lion?

2. 9/11
may as well have occured fifty years ago to the rest of the world. No one really cares and the sympathy the nation had in the immediate aftermath is gone.

Bush has set relations back between the US and the Arab world by atleast a generation or two. Kerry may be able to repair it to some extent, but it'll still be difficult.

6. Bush has set everything back
Under his direction, he thinks rape, mutilation of bodies, and beatings are A OK. As long as the corporate profits keep coming. Bush's redistribbution plan, take from the poor and give to his war-mongering GOP elitists.

10. The Devils Prophesy.
Bob Woodward stated that When he asked Bu$h*t "How do you think history will look at your Presidency?" The Commander and Chimp waved his arms in the air and smirked, "It doesn't matter we will all be dead!"

16. Yep,I really wonder what Kerry could do with this mess.....
He's not for just bringing the troops home,he wants to see this through with the help of other nations,UN,NATO.

I can't believe any country would want to send their people to this hell hole that Bush has created. He told the World to fuck off,we'll take care of this OUR way. My guess is even with Kerry in the WH those country's will still feel the same...It's an unbelievable mess...

17. There's MORE to that dreadful day..
that has to come out..they're all aware of it but have been kicking it back/forth..From what I read, some of the families want the "truth", that's all..but there's some people in high places whose names are familiar to all involved, and what's all involved that would affect both sides of the aisle and then some.

3. And all the atrocities aren't even out in the open yet!
According to Drudge, there's videos coming showing young boys being raped, and brutal beatings, and, ...and.... And do you hear the silence of all the so-called "moral" fuckers, like the preachers who hang around Bush, or say, from Mr. Moral himself, Joe Lieberman? No? Thought not.

Bush, and his entire administration are war criminals and traitors to this nation. The harm they have done, we can't even begin to comprehend. And still, they know no shame.

11. Some photos almost as sad as those others we've seen.
Because they're unlikely to be seen again the next time America's struck.

The world reacts to 9/11:


Berlin


Amman


Ottawa


Calcutta


Bangla Desh


Moscow

13. I realized that the second we started the "shock and awe"
As soon as we started that illegal invasion, I realized we had crossed the line and that we now could arguably be attacked, with complete justification.

I mentioned it on DU and left some people thoroughly outraged. I remember one fellow in particular who I haven't seen for a while who thought I was basically Satan himself for saying such.

This whole Iraqi thing has been horrible fiasco and the blowback is coming in highly unexpected ways. There will be more bizarre blowback to come, and it won't have anything to do with the prison.

19. Can we honestly say they would be wrong?
That's a question that is loaded to begin with, but if I were in their position, I probably wouldn't give a flying fuck if it was civilians or military at all. Especially if I was an Iraqi.
