What did 9/11 teach us?

Are you asking yourself these questions? are we asking our leaders these questions?

Does this man jumping out of the World Trade Center want to be involved in an Iraqi civil war, Killing almost as many Soldiers as there were deaths on 9/11?

Do the people in that plane want to have nail clippers taken away at security checkpoints?

Do the people in that tower want Civil liberties repressed and executive power increased?

Would the terrorists like to know that we make waving the American flag synonymous with the assertion that questioning those in power is unpatriotic and those who do wave flags don't even treat them respectfully? Better yet, would they be delighted to know that five years after the day they killed thousands of Americans, it is still possible to smuggle explosives on board airplanes, tanker cars carrying deadly chemicals are left unguarded, containers entering the us are rarely checked for only radioactive material, or that security in general is lacking in areas that are the most important?

How would the Firefighters rushing into the building to save people like to know that everyone they knew has a wiretapped phone, and couldn't go on the internet without everything they do going to the NSA?

Would the people in the pentagon like to know that 2,500 American soliders have died in an Iraqi Civil war, while company's like Haliburton providing thousands of "security contractors" (mercenaries) are earning up to a thousand dollars a day in an un-winnable conflict that is costing over 100 billion dollars a year?

Would you like to know that this was something the bush administration could have known about ast stated in the famous August 6th memo?

The question i want to know is,

Where are we now?
