"What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neo-cons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons."
What a scumbag,....he is calling what happened after 9-11 shameful?!?!? What is shameful was the terrorist attacks on innocent people no less and liberals of Krugman's ilk apologizing for the American response. And just how did Bush, Guilani, etc., profit?
That American response has liberated two countries and hundreds of thousands of people from the yoke of tyranny and caused several other countries to re-think their brutal control over their own populace.
And then there is blogger Chris Hedges, another scum bag, who wrote in part the following sorry excuse for a column:
"(after the immediate 9-11 attacks).......there would soon, however, be another reaction. Those of us who were close to the epicenters of the 9/11 attacks would primarily grieve and mourn. Those who had some distance would indulge in the growing nationalist cant and calls for blood that would soon triumph over reason and sanity. Nationalism was a disease I knew intimately as a war correspondent. It is anti-thought. It is primarily about self-exaltation. The flip side of nationalism is always racism, the dehumanization of the enemy and all who appear to question the cause. The plague of nationalism began almost immediately. My son, who was 11, asked me what the difference was between cars flying small American flags and cars flying large American flags.
“The people with the really big flags are the really big assholes,” I told him.
The dead in the World Trade Center , the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania were used to sanctify the state’s lust for war. To question the rush to war became to dishonor our martyrs. Those of us who knew that the attacks were rooted in the long night of humiliation and suffering inflicted by Israel on the Palestinians........."
And Hedges pass his work off as "digging for the truth",....well, just so you don’t get all worked out over looking for the truth,....here it is,......Hedges is a loser. A liberal apologist who probably thinks nothing is worth risking your life for...even the safety and lives or others,...or even Freedom. I'd like to see this liberal, filth spewing scumbag stand in front of a soldier or Marine and say even half of the crap they are writing. I feel sorry for this son who has to grow up with this butthole.
