What we have here is a case of a "self fulfilling prophecy". Bush warned us that we were under attack by people who "hated our way of life". And now it appears that he has created the circumstances to make that definition come true.
We were attacked in 9/11, not by crazy people who hated our freedom, but rather by people who felt they were already under attack by our policies overseas. These people hated us for what we were doing, not who we are. However, now they do indeed hate us for who we are.
We are the ones who attacked innocent civilians in Iraq.
We are the ones who made up a reason to go to war in the middle east.
We are the ones who are building permanent bases in Muslim countries.
We are the ones who represent the enemy just by existing.
We are the ones who are fucked.
There was a way to respond to 9/11 that would have been appropriate and sane. But instead we are led by people who are like children playing with dynamite. They did not understand the damage they would cause. Well here it is, it is called "endless war".
