9/11 perspective

[spooked]

Have we have gotten our revenge for this act of terrorism?

129 U.S. Soldiers killed in Afghanistan
931 U.S. Soldiers killed in Iraq
5,000 innocent Civilians killed in Afghanistan
6,000 Iraqi Military killed
37,000 innocent Civilians killed in Iraq
12,000 Wounded U.S. Soldiers out of Iraq
$126 Billion spent www.costofwar.com

Has it all been worth it? Sympathies to our dear Planet Earth for sustaining parasites like us, the human race.

1. we could have focused on Al Quaeda.... Iraq was/is a train wreck

[HysteryDiagnosis]

3. Focus on the fact

that making war on Iraq was and is hugely profitable for various interests directly and indirectly tied to the WH. Going after Al Qaida... with just the military/CIA is not. Doing that... doesn't allow for the across the board privatization of the "war" on terror.

Making war on a country.... does.... and just going after Al Qaida... doesn't give one the reigns to huge mideastern oil reserves... AND it doesn't knock out huge contracts between nations.... therefore... the mantra... "anyone who is sympathetic to the terrorists.... (whom we have in the past supported against the Russians) is a terrorist too".... I see hypocrisy here.

2. Think of how much $126 Billion

could have bought in deployment of solar/Hydrogen fuel cell
electric generation and research into alternative fuels.

Take $10 Billion off the top and GIVE it to the top 5 automakers
as a bribe to improve mileage standards 7 percent...

cheaper oil and gas for all of us (better economy).

More jobs here. (better economy).

Less money for terrorism.

Less pollution, less global warming.

And we are going to have to do it someday anyway (all the Iraq
oil isn't going to make that big a difference in the long run).
