Reply #9: For the first time in my life [View All]

I wrote a letter to the Times in response to an article ( which I seriously doubt will ever be published). They asked us to respond to "what you think we achieved in Iraq and afghanistan." what I suggested is that the better question is what did They achieve. My suggestion was exactly what they set out to do: the destruction and looting of Irag, Afghanistan and the US. The destruction of civil liberties at home and abroad along a tangled road that leads from Abu Ghraib all the way through Michigan and to Wisconsin.

I can't recall when an apparent mea culpable of sorts so deeply angered me.

Edited to add: september 11, 2001 was just September 11, 1973 in slow motion. It is still going on.
