Some1 tonite asked "why dont the libs quit making fun of 9-11". I had to respond to that, because the blame goes both ways, and here's what I said...

-- I think there are plenty of folks on both sides who made fun of it. For example, rather than getting all of our resources devoted to finding and taking out Bin Laden, we got BS (and knowingly BS) reasons for invading a sovereign country known as Iraq for no good reason other than that "bad people" controlled that country. It was a Neo-Con dream, and it failed. And now we're in Afghanistan ratcheting up troop levels ("CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN") with no clear plan being articulated for all these new troops, new casualties, and new spending that does not appear to be in anyway calculated to take out Al Qaeda (as opposed to protecting an imminently endangered regime from being toppled -- Can you say Vietnam?).
