<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Bush has made 9/11 the justification for the Iraq war nad basically he's building his "legacy" as the President of the United States based on 9/11.Iraq is unnecessary. I respect Bush for being a leader and assertive but there's a point where you just look stubborn and arrogant and Bush has passed that line.</div>no he has not, in fact he just gave a speech and answered "why are we in iraq if they had nothing to do with 9/11"saddam was a threat, alqueda was a threat, it was a breeding ground for the radical muslims who want us all dead... and would rape your kids at the drop of a hat... a democratic ally in the middle east is crucial to our saftey... and saddams regime was a threat to it... bush hasnt made 9/11 a platform, the media and people have... its just that when describing who we are fighting, explaining that it was them, or people with the same beliefs that knocked down the towers is the best example of the threat.</div>Well how about I put it this way. Say there were a bunch of radical christian extremists who went to say, Baghdad, and blew up their capitol building killing a bunch of people. Now, here's this thing. These extremists were canadian. So the Government of Iraq says lets go attack America AND canada because they both are a "breeding ground" for radical christian extremists. Does that make much sense?</div>you can't give that analogy without tons of other details that the real situation hasthe main one being the threat of iraq, if we had not gone ito iraq i guarentee another attack would have happened on the US by now, followed by more, and more. and ummm, PPE... cnn, cbs, abc, nbc, the new york times... come on man, foxnews is one channel and they arent even that biased... i watch fox alot and most of it is just.... this is what happened and this is how it happened... if you come to a conservative conclusion because of that then thats your problemBush talks about 911 all the time... NO SHIT... so would any sensible president... and how the fuck has he used it to gain votes? Two wars over it? Yeah cause he has a brain and knows it would happen again if the radial muslims werent stopped... if a liberal like, lets say, john kerry was in office... we would have been attacked multiple times since... sitting back and doing nothing and never speaking of the attack is your idea?9/11 is one of the largest events in our history, and it happend under bush... did washington wrongly make the revolutionary war "his thing", did lincoln make the civil war "his thing"?
