Feeling Worried
The big argument for Repubs is that we have not been attacked since 911. George Bush is keeping us safe, perhaps by occupying Iraq and by violating the Constitution. Freedom and democracy.
But I wonder? Have we not been attacked? The anthrax? Of course we don't know who did that.
The jetliner that crashed into Queens was designated to be an accident. That's what the government told us. Oddly enough the plane struck in the same neighborhood as the angry man who challenged Osama on national television, even telling the world his address.
Then came the Lebanese-American youngster who smashed a small plane into a skyscraper in Tampa, Florida. He left a note saying he did it for Osama. The FBI confiscated the young man's computer.
John Muhammed, one of the DC snipers, is said to have praised the 911 attack.
We also have not found the person who sent ricin through the mail. Of course this person said he was mad because Mexican truck drivers were allowed to drive through America. But I recall that the anthrax killer sent a note that said, "Death to Israel and Death to America."
The FBI deduced that this was a trick designed to throw them off the track and therefore the anthrax killer was not a Muslim terrorist but a domestic one. However, nobody applied that same reverse logic to the note from the ricin mailer.
Then there was the Egyptian-American who shot and killed two people at the El Al ticket counter in LAX, the Los Angeles airport. For those that don't know, El Al is the national Israeli airlines. That was on July 4. Oddly enough, on that same day, a small plane crashed into a bunch of children campers in a park in California. I think the campers were singing songs or something when the plane hit them.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence.
Then there was the Muslim-American who shot and killed two people inside the Jewish Federation office in Seattle.
He shouted: "I am a Muslim-American and I'm angry about our support for Israel."
This was while Israel was bombing civilian targets in Lebanon.
At about the same time a Muslim-American in San Fransisco ran over and killed about four people with his car in about the space of an hour. A Muslim-American student had done a similar thing with his car at his college. Afterward he called 911 and said he did it as a protest against American foreign policy.
Also, I recall Senator Patrick Leahy, a Dem, postulating on whether West Nile Virus was a terrorist attack.
I guess it would be accurate to say that there has not been a major KNOWN terror attack since 911. But even when one happens will the government tell us the truth about it?
In Spain the government lied and blamed the 311 attack on domestic terrorists, not Al Qaeda.
Would our government lie to us like that?
Stop laughing.
Some people think the Bush administration wants another attack in order to save the Repub Party in the upcoming congressional election on November 7.
Such a campaign strategy is very risky. Someone would be likely to find out about it and report it to the corporate media....and then somebody in the corporate media might report it.
Also, the voters are not always predictable. A major terror attack might cause them to vote for Repubs. Then again they might look at it as a failure by the Bush administration. They might wonder why allowing the president to violate the Constitution and kill 655,000 innocent Iraqis and about 2800 American youth did not make us safer. Some voters might even wonder if the president allowed the terror attack in order to help his party at the polls.
Indeed in Spain, 311 wound up hurting the incumbent prime minister and his party. They were thrown out of power and replaced with a prime minister and a party which wisely withdrew Spanish troops from Iraq.
Since then Spain has not been attacked again by Al Qaeda.
Spain is keeping their people relatively safe without violating their constitution or occupying the wrong country.
