CH 7; unSpun : Feb 18

Okay, this chapter was a little too political for me – I cannot stand politics, but I’ll work with it. I’ve always heard that in some form or another, our country was aware of the 9/11 attacks. So I wasn’t shocked to read that within weeks of the 9/11 tragedy, emails began to circulate pertaining to this idea. Apparently the individual sending the emails claimed that Oliver North had been warning Congress of such attacks since 1987. Even Al Gore are warned, but nothing was done; although, this is only speculated.
We all know that Osama bin Laden is one of the world’s evilest men alive or dead, who knows? He’s right up there with Hussein, but at least he got what he deserved. Osama on the other hand seems to be a mystery; even in 2009. This disturbs me deeply. That monster needs to be caught and assassinated. I was pleased when Hussein was hung and I would like to see the same happen to bin Laden.
On another note, we now have a new President. I have already noted that I am not political, but I have heard the prediction that 9/11 was only the beginning of terrorist attacks within the United States. As a member of the Y Generation, I fear for what may happen next. Obama is now in office and really, there is a new Presidency to impact. I am merely going off the bits and pieces that I have heard, but it needs to be stopped. Osama needs to be found and killed. Terrorist groups need to be sought out and destroyed.
I am a lover not a fighter, but something SERIOUSLY needs to be done. Our country needs to take more control and focus on terrorism. Put the War on Drugs on hold and focus on those who can unrightfully kill hundreds of Americans and destroy their families. I like to believe that we are a good country with a good head on our shoulders; lets focus on beating terrorism before something worse occurs.
