Lest we forget

Another blogger thinks a 911 holiday is in order. Don't know about the holiday thing, but I commented on his blog.

As to remembering 911, I'm all for it. Remember that it led us into two wars that have no purpose and have aided in our collapse.

Let's remember the chickenhawks who cheerlead and never went.

Please tell me what is to win in Iraq and Afghanistan? OBL did not attack us with a carrier fleet. The thing to do was tighten the borders, not send an army to not catch the bogeyman.

On the AntiWar.com blog it has been noted that we have passed 1,000 dead in the Afghan debacle. It is the flower of our youth dead to no purpose other than that noted in Burkeman's comment.

The war against the "Taliban" is a jobs work program. It is a low level war with tolerably low casualties (for Americans) but supremely profitable overhead.

We have to fight them over there so they won't bomb a Lion King matinee here

or shoot up Fort Hood, or get on a plane with loaded underwear.

Okay, kids, I'm going to say it again, 911 and the subsequent terror events involving Muslims have all been border and immigration control failures.

Does anyone believe that if we bring the troops home and forget the war, that the terrorists will build carrier fleets and bomb the Big Apple from the sky and land an army on Cape May?
