let's go point by point
"North America is on its way to a recession"
Well, I'm guessing you just meant the US, and not Canada and Mexico (since they weren't directly touched). The last I heard we were already in one. I don't know about everyone else, but the industry I work in has tanked out, and I'm very happy to have a job.
"Bush wants an excuse to start conflict"
Every President wants conflict. If they can destroy a great Evil in the world, they get more votes. It's been going on for a long long time. GW (as much as I dislike him) is not the first.
"Bush wants the USA to sink into reclusionism"
Well, I've never heard that term before, but I'm guessing it's close to isolationism (which is the word we use around here). So... Bush wants the US to be more isolated from the world. That's an excuse to cause an international incident, to bring them BACK into the world?
"Bush has been breaking alliances left and right"
What's the connection with today? I don't see it.
"Bush has been trying to show that there is an excuse for his huge amount of arms."
Well, Bush didn't build those weapons, he inherited them. Also, we know that there are still psychopaths in the world, and that those arms aren't totally useless.
"Bush has dropped out or rejected most major arms treaties since he took office"
Again, where's the connection/rational with today's events?
"Bush needs an enemy to make his policies make sense"
Well, it might not be as black-and-white as the Cold War days, but the US still has enemies, so again, don't see the point of this argument.
"The 'hijackers' of all these planes have not been identified"
The hijackers, and the passengers, are all mush at the moment. A 767 airliner filled with fuel makes a very big explosion. It hasn't even been 24 hours, they're still trying to put all the fires out, and you want them to find the teeth of the hijackers? Please...
"Bush is a poopyhead"
I'm not going to bother with this one.
Again, trolling and playing Devil's Advocate (if that's what you're doing) about the events of today are totally out of line, and very very tasteless.
Don't you see? The point of these attacks aren't just to show the US that we're not safe, but to show the rest of the world that they're not safe either. I'm not safe, you're not safe, no one can really get on a commercial airplane again, and say without a doubt that that plane won't go nose first into a building.
Don't throw stones in a glass house. And we ALL live in glass houses. |
