Reader comment on item: Has America Learned from 9/11?

Submitted by T.B. Roberts (United States), Nov 3, 2004 at 19:43

I note that the residents of Manhattan voted 82% in favor of Senator Kerry and his philosophy of appeasement. Given what happened in Manhattan on 9-11-01, I cannot explain their vote, unless the majority of those 468,841 voting for Kerry truly believe that we "deserved" to be attacked and defeated by religious supremacists who have been committing genocide against "Jews, polytheists, infidels and apostates" for some 1300 years.
