War of Terrorism
This is a thought that I had in my mind for a while, and I thought I would share it with you.
The 9/11 attack ignited the start of Bush's infamous war on terrorism. A phrase that we are so used to hearing nowadays. First of all I want to clarify that the attacks were wrong, and served no purpose, other than to launch a large American offensive against the middle east.
So how many people died in the 9/11 attacks? According to Wikipedia, 2985 people. Directly after 9/11, the US launched a military attack in Afghanistan, in which according to a University of New Hampshire professor "at least 3,767 Afghan civilians had died in the first 8 ½ weeks of the war." After Afghanistan, Bush launched an illegal and pointless war on Iraq, with civilian casualties on the rise everyday. According to iraqibodycount.net, there is a minimum reported civilian casualties of 16,389 people, as of today.
So lets do the math here. +16,389 + 3,767 = 20156 which by the way is a conservative, and rising figure; this is 7 times as many as the 9/11 casualties. Of course those casualties were all due to accidents from highly precise weaponry, imagine if they weren't so precise. My point here is that the war on terrorism has become in so many ways, the war of terrorism. Does Bush realize that he has just created more terrorists than there was in 2001? Maybe he does. But does he care? That I can answer for sure

Don't you know that one white person is worth 20 brown ones? Google for the words "flypaper" and "Iraq" if you want proof.

Yeah really man how many dollars have been spent on these 2985 Americans compared to an average Iraqi?
I so much hate Bush, but still I don't know why we are always wasting our time trying to know WHY? Really the best thing we can do right now is dodge the hard hits and to get stronger.

but let us remember you guys, the victims of 9/11 are not at fault for Bush's mistakes. Infact. so many of the families of the victims of 9/11 believe that what Bush has done is wrong.
lets not be like the people who see a difference in the worth of a victim.
