16. One cannot de-link 9/11 from the war in Iraq
The 9/11 attack on WTC was a terrorist act by a terrorist organization against innocent people. The US attack on Iraq was a terrorist act by a terrorist nation against innocent people.

The carnage we have unleashed in Iraq have made me reevaluate the events of 9/11. We should rebuild the towers as they were and forget any memorial that does not include a fair and balance view of criminal acts that our government has committed in the name of the 9/11 victims.

The 9/11 victims have been victimized again by the crimes of the Bush regime!

Hillary has joined the ranks of those that do not want to provide context to the 9/11 events. 9/11 was not an act of random violence, such as many of the shootings our cities experience daily. 9/11, or rather the conditions that led to 9/11, resulted from US foreign policy in the Middle East and in Western Asia. What Hillary and her cohorts fear is that the record of past Administrations, from both parties, will be subjected to scrutiny if antiwar Americans were to use the Freedom Center as a public square.

9/11 did not happen in a vacuum!
