CLASS 8

So today we talked about the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and we saw Fahrenheit a Michael Moore documental about what really happened that day. I enjoy the documental because Michael has a really interesting way to tell the truth.

With the information provided by the documental and my own I realized that Bush administration did a catastrophic job for their people and for the world. I cannot deny that American had the right to protect their people from the terrorist but President Bush had the opportunity to avoid the attacks and save a lot of lives! But he didn’t do anything, he spent the first months of his government on vacation what kind of president does that? He knew that terrorists were planning to attack by planes; his counterterrorism department gave him the information months before the attack so why did he not stop it?

And when he reacted he started a war but instead to send a lot of soldiers to Afghanistan where it was supposedly Osama Bin Laden, he send massive forces to Iraq that had nothing to do with the attack! The US alleged that they had mass destruction weapons but they didn’t, even when they realized about that he did not withdraw the US forces. Many innocents both Americans and Iraqis were kill in a war without any logical reason. But Bush saw the opportunity with the oil and went crazy! But it justified the death of those people? I don’t think so!

Up until now Americans are there helping those countries’ reconstructions but if it wasn’t for Americans those person wouldn’t have to reconstruct anything.
