"We are more at risk"
Praises to Ken Shuler of Omaha for his excellent article in the Omaha World-Herald: The Public Pulse. His article reflects my thoughts and opinions of the events of today. It deserve wide circulation.
Dateline: 9/25/2004 by Ken Shuler.
"I am continually amazed and dismayed by my fellow Americans who insist that George W. Bush has protected this country and somehow made it safer from terrorism. The worst terrorist attack to occur on American soil happened almost one year into Bush's presidency.
Factor in Bush's jingoistic foreign policy that has alienated America from the rest of the world, sparking a downright hatred in many places, and I would suggest that we have greatly increased our risk of further attacks under Bush's watch.
When history removes the rhetoric, the person many people seem to view as a "proven leader" today will be known as the man who squander the enormous goodwill of the world and the opportunity to rally it to defeat terrorism after 9/11.
The Bush administration's venal domestic agenda also has divided America. The gap between the haves and have-nots in our country continues to grow larger by the day.
We need someone introspective who can deal in subtleties and complexities. America needs an agenda that looks forward and thinks and cares about our responsibilities in the world and to the environment."
