The great ADDITIONAL tragedy of 9/11
Besides the terrible loss of those who died on this day 2 years ago, there is another tragedy, in my view. What should have been a reason to draw the world TOGETHER in common feelings of sympathy and determination to make the world a better place, has been instead nullified by the reckless, insane Iraq war. The Bush government has in such a short time, turned the world's good will toward America into suspicion and fear.....As your Canadian neighbour, with great affection for the American people, I find this very tragic.

1. You hit the nail on the head
You know, I was in Vancouver back when I was playing "soldier boy" in the 60's. Seemed like every old timer I ran into offered me a free beer cause I was a "yank soldier", and every one of them told me I should not be going to VN. And awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy we go again........

3. We should be doing a tribute
to the 289 dead American soldiers, "Who died so bush* can get reelected".

4. Wolf Blitzer is doing a show.."How does the world view the USA two years
after 9/11?"....I can predict the answers before he reads any emails.

5. Damn Straight
This is a fair point; and of course the blame has to be laid at President Bush's doorstep.
