Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

Many Observers to this day. Wholesale unaware of why Bin Laden attacked us on 9-11. Many more unaware of who it actually was. Khalid Sheik Mohammed. A Pakistani. Who lived right here in the US. How many know he graduated from North Carolina AT&T? Attended Chowan College. One of his primary Lieutenants and pilots was a man named Mohammed Atta. An Egyptian.
To understand 9-11, one must know what was going on during the 1990's. Under George Bush I and Bill Clinton. One must understand why al-Qaeda would attack US embassies in East Africa. One must understand why al-Qaeda would target the USS Cole. What was the USS Cole doing, what mission was being carried out?
One must look to Iraq, its economy being devastated. It's people suffering. The sanctions and blockades, no fly zones and resolutions, the 'soft power' politics being played, the realpolitik being engaged and endeavored on.
Those policies were complete failures. And torched off a jihad against the US. Look to the words of Bin Laden himself. Don't look to an analysis by someone else, don't listen or read anyone else's words......go to the horses mouth. Read Osama Bin Laden and Zawahiri.....you tell this Observer what they're enraged about. You tell me what country is repeated and referred to so often. You tell me what nation and US policies he's exampling, what his "best proof examples" are.
They are the policies of realpolitik and soft power. They are the policies so preferred and supported by so many to this forum. And they are the wrong call, they are what increased direct and vital security risks to this nation.
I make the analogy and repeat the truths above....because we've just made the same f'n idiotic mistake. We're going to accept and tolerate a Taliban government in Afghanistan. That decision, that sheer idiocy.....in my opinion....is going to come back and bite the fck out of us. In places we don't like to get bit in. Like......vital areas.
Thus I love when many sit there and type out expletives about 'neocons'. Neocons aren't in power, rarely are anymore. The world burns because of the inactive 'soft power' arrogance and idiocy. Much of it displayed right here on our forum. Present company very much f'n included.
