Where would this country be, if the disaster of 9/11 had not happened during Bush's reign? [View All]

[hisownpetard]

No Patriot Act?
No war in Afghanistan?
No pre-emptive invasion and occupation of Iraq under false pretenses?
No spying on Americans?
No Gitmo?
No gigantic windfall for Halliburton and Blackwater mercenaries
No phony claims of 'executive privilege' based on national security?
No refusal to comply with subpoenas based on phony executive privilege?
No alienation of the rest of the world ("You're either with us or against us")?
No false declaration of "Mission Accomplished"?
No destruction of Habeas Corpus?
No gasoline at $100/barrel?
No depletion and exhaustion of our military?
No compliance with "alternative methods of investigation" or government-sponsored torture?

And on and on and on.

Although Giuliani seems to be the main claimant to having an umbilical connection to that horrible day, it's actually George Bush
whose life-course has most been changed because 9/11 happened on his watch, allowing him unprecedented freedom to
override every conventional tenet this country has held dear for over 200 years.

George Bush would never have been able to accomplish so many of his twisted Rovian dreams had the country not been cowed
and, literally, scared senseless by what occurred that beautiful September morning, 7 long years ago.
