A thousand nine-elevens.

Editor,

Al Qaeda crazies managed to destroy two American buildings on nine-eleven. Has anyone noticed how many Lebanese buildings, roads, bridges, power plants, TV stations, civilians, and God-knows-what-else Israeli crazies have destroyed using American weapons with Bush administration crazies' enthusiastic support? A thousand nine-elevens, a thousand Murrah buildings. Thousands of terrorist attacks.

How did a handful of fanatics who openly espouse American military domination of this planet, openly deride negotiation as "appeasement", and openly interpret other nations' aspirations for sovereignty and independence as mortal threats to the United States of America seize control of our government?

Every day we are confronted by fear mongering, war mongering, and crazy, illogical statements to the effect that armed groups who defend their soil against American aggression are "terrorists". We are living in a bad movie written by madmen.

To fully comprehend the statements of George Bush and his henchmen, it is necessary to understand that the statements they make purporting to explain the aims, thoughts, and motives of "the terrorists" in fact explain their own.
