Politics is dirty...dog eat dog business... what happened September 11th belongs to all Americans, whether or not friends or kin were there.
This not unlike "remember the Alamo"...or, "Remember Pearl Harbour"... Its a rallying cry for Gods sake.
Americans tend to forget quickly and too easily...get on with life etc.
Lets just see how many scream bloody murder when it happens again....here!
Personally, I am not crazy about Bush's politics...and he, like the rest will stretch the truth...but I gotta tell you, I like his way of trying to do something...anything, other than throwing spitballs like his predecessors have.
