America's thinking

We do know why 'they' attacked us AND it was well understood long before 11 September. This country is chock full of good, informed, honest, and responsible people (who were easily subverted by Rush Limbaugh logic and ‘big dic’ propaganda). That list of ‘good’ includes those who knew why America was being attacked, who was doing it, AND who were even 'retired' for reporting that it was coming. For example, you do know who John O'Neill was and why he was there when killed? If not, then America has another serious problem (another reason why George Jr is in Washington). Do you know this common knowledge from current events?

85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. (That was god's 1st Commandment before Moses dropped the first tablets.) A nation with little people empowered to do their jobs therefore had a 70% approval rating throughout the world. Hell, we rescued Kuwait and got paid to do it. That's right. It cost us almost nothing. Then we elected an extremist mental midget. Those little people did not disappear. Only one thing changed. Urbane Guerrilla got just the type of leader he adores. These leaders, for example, stifled handfuls of Federal agents - any of which could have averted 11 September if permitted to do their job. Again, you can name cities those agents were located because it was well published, common knowledge, and read by those who are, by definition, American patriots.

You did read the 9/11 Commission report - because you care about America? Did you notice, in every case, who fought for (to defend) America? Not a single member of the George Jr administration is on that list. Not one. Again – common knowledge. In many cases (such as the landing of all airliners), people who did not even have authority to save lives acted anyway. Did you understand the 9/11 story as detailed in that Commission report? Did you understand what makes America so great - so strong - so loved throughout the world? Do you understand how a mental midget and his cast from the dark side – how so few - have so subverted America?

No, not just somehow know. For if you cannot say why, then you are equivalent to that Sith president. ‘Evil’ are those who don’t do their jobs as citizens: learn.

You posts reek of despair because grasp of details are woefully missing. Appreciate why this country is so strong, innovative, and was so admired. Appreciate why so many aspire to be American friends when our leaders adhere to American principles (instead of running torture chambers, approved of by both George Jr and Urbane Guerilla, in Guantanamo, Poland, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, and Abu Ghriad). Appreciate why so few can undermine so many. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to …?

Learn from current details AND from the lessons of history. To appreciate why we are where we are, read the Pentagon Papers, Making of a Quagmire, or a Bright and Shining Lie. Or watch PBS Frontline's Lost Year to appreciate how incompetant this adminstration really is. IOW first learn. Then appreciate what America did to end that tyranny 30 years ago. Your despair should be replaced with a wild craving for solutions – what is also called the American spirit. Solutions are known, available, and being stifled by a group of incompetent and politically extremist wackos.

My god … a long and aggressive list of solutions are provided in the Iraq Study Group report. Did you read it – or instead do what incompetent managers do – read the executive summary?

But again, you keep them in power if you cannot post details that include 'why'. Your posts are dreadfully devoid of that grasp - which makes one little different from America's worst president. We know why 'they' attack us. We even knew when it was coming. Defined here is the America spirit. Do you appreciate what that is and what subverts it?
