if 9/11 had been used the right way

September 11th of every year following the attacks on that Tuesday morning in 2001 have proved to by a memorable occasion and one as an excuse to watch TV, but approaching the eighth anniversary one has to wonder how the "free American" public bought themselves down the road into their current status in the world and the world we live in today.

Don't get me wrong the 9/11 attacks were horrible!



But what came out of them was much worse, shortly following the recession the Military Industrial Complex seemed to be benefiting the most from the attacks building more invisible planes that fight it's invisible enemies.

For instance a large candle vigil was held for the victims of the attack on the World Trade Center on the streets of Tehran and after a month of the coaltion carrying out it's stupendous bombing of Afghanistan blowing up mountains and getting no results Iran helped them teaming their Northern Alliance allies with the United States Air Force which seized Kabul and helped coalition forces take down the rest of the main Taliban forces from there (more on that later).

But as the smoke was still rising from Ground Zero and the steel sold for half price scrap to Asian companies George W. Bush made his axis of evil speech pointing an accusing finger at Iran since it sponsored terrorists, such as Hezbollah I assume who actually spoke out against the attack, gave it's condolences and were enemies of Bin Laden in the first place, yes possible friends and new Allies were broken as the world questioned if America was responsible enough to be a superpower and probably wondered why it was being hostile to the rest of the world.

Especially France, an international boycott of France?
Remember how stupid it was just because they wouldn't commit to a war against Iraq because, eh, they wanted a bulletproof reason before sending their young men and women to possible death.

The Iraq War was waged on a continued lie and saw Americans focusing not on the Sunni extremism originating from Saudi Arabia (the nationality of 15 of the 19 hijackers) or the exiled bin Laden but more on al Queda in Iraq!
Which accounted for about 1% of all insurgency actions.

Four thousand dead troops later and the US was becoming so unbearable to the rest of the world whom had previously been with America all the way on catching the 'bad guys' who carried out such a horrible act, Americas questionable actions saw even strippers in Amsterdam going into politics with American tourists!

Although George Bush was an obvious thug in Americas eyes he still got in a second time when it was already far too late, the inauguration of Barack Obama included a speech where he stated about Iran that he was "willing to hold out a hand if you are willing to unclench a fist," or something like that, but looking at the last eight years of US foreign policy its hard not to laugh at such a statement!



If 9/11 had been used the right way and the War on Terror wasn't an endless war (who was the enemy? bin Laden?) to shape the world for American interests but rather a promotion of a bi-polar world with Russia to make it safer for all instead of repeatably taking a piss on Mark Binghams grave!
