1. Yes, But We All Know. . .
. . .that the world changed on Sept 11, right? That's makes it ok that Li'l Georgie lied, right?

Man i hate that canard. The only thing that changed on 9/11 was that the idiots who were oblivious to how much some people hated the U.S. had their eyes opened. NOTHING really changed. Just a few fat and happy americans were a bit less oblivious. People hated us before, they hate us after, some of us knew it, and knew why, others were blinded by ignorance. Now, there are fewer ignorantly blind.

Changing foreign policy based upon a wake-up call to idiots is ridiculous.
