Glad to hear it

We welcome comments that 'tell it like it is'. I am so sick and tired of hearing about 911 and Bush's excuses for his war! People need a voice that can be heard. Unfortunately, mine is too small and overlooked but there are others who feel the same way, also not being heard.

Does anyone realize 911 was NOT the first terrorist attack on this country? Others were attacks against America and Americans but they mostly happened overseas and the messages didn't get out. Beiruit Marine Barracks 1983, The first WTC bombing, KHOBAR TOWERS Air Force housing in Dharan, Saudi Arabia, US Embassy bombings in Africa, USS Cole. All before 911. Do you know what our government did for the surviving family members of those crisis? Nothing!
