When the World Trade Center was attacked...This is how Bush procted our America....read on, found on aol's news stories for 9/11.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Tyler Radkey and other second-graders at Emma E. Booker Elementary School didn't know what to think when an aide leaned in and whispered something to President Bush on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. "His face just started to turn red," said Tyler, now 13 and in seventh grade. "I thought, personally, he had to go to the bathroom."

For a puzzling seven minutes, the youngsters read aloud from the story "The Pet Goat" while the shaken president followed along in front of the class, trying to come to grips with what he had been told - that a second plane had just hit the World Trade Center and the nation was under terrorist attack.....Bush soon left the classroom and, after a briefing from aides, strode into the library where other pupils were awaiting an appearance by Bush and Education Secretary Rod Paige. The children were unaware of what was unfolding as Bush made a brief statement to the nation about the attacks.

and being the antiChrist and such and was in Skulls and Bones that essentially worships Satan and gives the devil's sign a lot and the fact he caught on tape during 9-11 reading my pet goat since the goat is a traditional symbal of the devil and mentioned in the last judgemnt as well when God separates the sheep from the goats.

Since his secret nuclear war with its use of depleted uranium (equal to 1/4 million Nagasaki bombs) leads to such extreme birtth deformities (goggle those three words if you have the stomach), deaths, and illnesses for 4 1/2 billion years which history will show him to have worse crimes against humanity than Hilter when all human DNA is damaged, he is doing the devil's work.

It just hit me that that choice was a strange co-incidence

..ok--I will brace for the inevitable hate mail now.

Today marks the date of the worst terrorist attack in history.

Apparently, it was all orchestrated by George Bush to manufacture a reason to steal oil - or something along those lines.
To listen to that drivel has gone from vaguely amusing, to distracting to downright scary.
There are people in this country so determined to find a reason to hate Bush and his government, that there are actually websites that have sprung up, detailing 'proof' of this paranoid fantasy.
I can 'prove' fairies exist on Mars if you like.

What's worse is that there are actually professional scholars, people who should know better, and some of whom who are teaching children, that all this is fact and should be taken seriously.
That is irresponsible, cynical and should not be allowed - parents are paying for their kids to be educated, not intoctrinated with political equivalents of the Tooth Fairy.

To those of us living in reality, let's remember this terrible day the way it actually happened.

I'm afraid. I really am. Not of dying so much, but nuclear war. We have no idea what kind of weapons The Taliban have. They keep warning us Americans to convert to Islam before it's too late. What the hell is that? If we're not Muslim, are we going to go to hell if we die. I think any of those Taliban soldiers that are making bombs to kill more people to get their point across to the U.S. are not real Muslims. I don't see how in the world they are going to go to Heaven for their deeds. Straight to hell. That's how I see it.

I'm not a USA citizen. What I say is hearsay. A friend told me that Republican leaders said about Clinton: "He's not my president!" Now - if you criticize Bush - you are disloyal to your country, because you "criticize your president".
I think that Clinton - with all his faults - was a better president for the USA. The budget was much better, the world was less antagonistic towards the USA and there was less war mongering.

Please do not say they were not violated. It is very clear that they were if you do your research. If you do not believe me read Professor Jones peer reviewed paper. Again if you want to give a scholarly answer do not deny that the laws were broken.

It has for the longest time been of great debate for the need of war, and the role of peace. I personally believe in war, but only for the fact that we cannot simply ignore the fact that both our peace, and our freedom are in periled. I have read the papers, and heard the news, and listened to the highest politicians argue over the need of war... And yet I don't rightly know which one is right, for both party has it's pro's and con's. If our peace were disturbed by not going to war than wouldn't that be a little contradicting? So how are we to say we should go to war, or keep the peace?
As September eleventh brought our world, and country to a standstill we realized something... We're not as safe as we thought. Hundred's of people were killed, and we just watched in horror as one of the biggest accomplishments of the United States fell to a pile of debris on ground zero. In this condition it was inevitable that we go to war, how else could we gain back our feeling of security, and in turn our peace.
There are times that war is not the best route, those times are the ones were we don't have enough supporting evidence or we don't understand the cause or need of such a fight. I have often heard people question the war we are in now... I don't know how to reply to that, it's often too hard to derive a truth from a lie in our government so I can't debate too much on the topic, but I do know what I see, and what I feel is the right way.
Some positive effects of war can be seen in the Middle East. Women are not hiding behind a burke, only hoping that they not be killed, or discriminated. Is this positive? I say yes. There are many differences. So we can see some of the effects of this war are helping the world slowly by progressing in letting women have the rights they deserve. There are some negative effects of war too, such as the many soldiers lives lost in the battle for the freedom of the Middle East, and also for our freedom to be restored. So can we not say that they are equal, by the effect's can the cause not be honored? I'll let you be the judge.

When a petition has been circulated do you feel the company, government, or whoever is being petioned should consider the amount of signatures? How many signatures do you think would be a good amount on any petition?
