The Supreme Court decided the 2000 presidential election� not the people of the United States. This is against the very premise of our nation.

A security briefing on August 6th, 2001 was given to George W. Bush stating that Osama Bin Laden was planning to attack America by hijacking airplanes. It was ignored by the president and John Ashcroft.

On September 10th, 2001, George W. Bush himself sent a memo to the office of the Attorney General reducing the counterterrorism budget from the F.B.I.

We all know what happened on September 11th, 2001.

On September 13th, 2001 (while all other air-traffic was halted) the White House authorized government planes (in coordination with the F.B.I. and Saudi Arabia) to take 24 members of the Bin Laden family (without being questioned) and 118 other Saudi Arabians out of the U.S. This is a wild breech of investigative procedure.

Starting in the mid-1970�s, numerous large financial ties have been between the Bin Laden�s and Bush�s� including defense companies (that make tanks and such) which benefited from 9/11 and the war on terror. That�s right, the Bin Laden family, through companies they invested in, would profit from 9/11� and so would the Bush family.

Independent investigations were launched within days of Pearl Harbor and the assassination of President Kennedy� but George W. Bush fought all investigations of the events surrounding 9/11. When Congress finally did complete its study of the matter, the Bush White House censored 28 pages of the report (by making them �classified� material).

George W. Bush gets paid $400,000 per year from citizens of our country to be the president. The Bush family�s businesses (and businesses of their friends) got $1,400,000,000 over the last 30 years, via investments from the Saudi royals and their associates. That�s over $46,500,000 per year. Whose interests would you be more concerned with? Someone who gives you less than half a million dollars? Or someone who gives you and your friends over 46 million dollars?

Saudi Arabia owns 6% of the American economy. It doesn�t sound like much� but if they pulled out their investments all at once� it would be devastating.

Even though Osama Bin Laden was a Saudi, 15 of the 19 hijackers from 9/11 were Saudis and Saudi money funded Al Qaeda� President George W. Bush had dinner with the Saudi Arabian ambassador in the White House just 2 days after 9/11.

Four weeks after 9/11, the U.S. invaded Afghanistan with only 11,000 troops. There are more than 11,000 policemen in Manhattan! It was an almost empty gesture.

Once things got rolling in Afghanistan� the Bush administration played the old �bait and switch� and put focus on Iraq.

Iraq was never a threat to our country. Yes, it might�ve been a threat to its neighboring countries� but for George W. Bush to try to make a connection between 9/11 and Iraq is just a deadly distraction.

Out of the 535 members of congress� only 1 has an enlisted son in Iraq. They don�t want to lose their children in war, no one does. But they expect mostly lower and middle class people (who largely make-up the military) to put their lives on the line.

Wars should not be conducted unless they are absolutely necessary. Wars should not be based on intelligence until that information is verified. It�s not just the lives of our citizens and soldiers that hang in the balance, it�s our nation�s reputation in the world. Do we really want to become (or remain) as lazy, indifferent and cruel as we are perceived to be by the terrorists?

A hierarchal society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.

Rich leaders count on the fact that most of us are struggling financially and uninformed. That�s how they are able to control us� putting us in a psychological state where we wont� question their actions� and making us grateful for every crumb of bread they throw to us.

It�s not unpatriotic to question authority � it�s our right. It�s necessary to keep our system free� and free from corruption. The administration should be more than happy to prove their actions as just and fair� and they should readily admit when they are wrong and do what it takes to correct mistakes.

Much of the Patriot Act can be (and is) used to erode our freedoms under the guise of fighting terrorism.

Terrorists do not hate us for our freedoms, as George W. Bush would suggest. They think we�re godless deviates. They may not like us because of how we exercise our freedoms, but they hate us because of our foreign policies.
