Whose 9/11 Is It Anyway?

President Bush still insists that it is better to fight "them" over there than to fight "them" here. Is it really? On 9/11/01 we were subjected to a well-planned but heinous act of war against our civilian population which resulted in fewer than 3,000 U.S. deaths. In 2003 we committed a well-planned but heinous act of war against Iraq that has resulted so far in over 3,700 U.S. military deaths and upwards of 600,000 Iraqi deaths. Oh yeah, and it's gonna cost us 600 billion dollars and there is no end in sight. I guess Bush failed any comparative analysis classes he might have taken in college.
When will anyone end this madness? I would even appreciate an admission that, yes, it was all about the oil. With over 100 billion barrels of reserves, at least this fiasco would only cost us $6.00 per barrel for oil selling for over $75.00 per barrel now. Great investment strategy Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney.
