To All My Fellow Americans Who Voted for George W. Bush: Just for the record, I voted Libertarian this last election, because of how Bush handled things post-9/11. Are we safer now than before 9/11? Absolutely not. In fact, I believe our vulnerability is much more precarious now. I had a lot of faith in him during the early days…. he seemed to be quite capable of uniting the country and getting the job done. But once things really swung into motion, after the emotional connection had faded, he let us down badly. And on this sacred day of remembrance, do you think we honor or shame those who died on 9/11/01? If we learned nothing and find ourselves today every bit as vulnerable and unprepared as we were on that bright sunny morning, then did the 3,000 die in vain? I believe the American people as a people still honor them. I believe the Bush administration is giving it lip service. They did not die in vain, as America changed forever that day concerning its awareness of “what’s out there.” However, we have failed to monitor sufficiently the aftermath in terms of our civil liberties. That sense of “WTF?” is growing, but we let our patriotic fervor distract us from the concrete shoes we were being fitted with. Tags: 9/11, america, bush, political, terrorism
