Yes. I watched that event with horror.
Immediately following 9/11, Ron Paul wrote a bill authorizing a tactical strike force to immediately go in and get bin laden. Waiting for a WWII type of invasion of Afghanistan was a tactical mistake. We lost bin laden by the delay.
But in an Indian newspaper, prior to 9/11, (which the 9/11 commission blames on our foreign policy of interventionism, by the way) an article appeared that India, Pakistan, Britian and the USA were planning to invade Afghanistan to rout out the Taliban. I think Bush saw an opportunity to justify the plans.
What I cannot understand is how a group of macho patriots accepts the growth of the government here in the US, the entangling of the feds down to our lowest level of police in the US when they were on board with me and lots of others during Clinton’s term that he was overreaching in those areas. Do you think the next president or the one after that will not MIS-USE these powers?
Shhhh you're going to confuse the poor lad :D
