the biggest victim of 9/11 is our national sense innocense, we were living in the age of aquarious, peace and love was abounding, the soviets were now

our roommates in the space station, only a handful of conflicts going on in the world, Rwanda? yeah sure there was some weirdos running afghanistan.

it was the new mellenium and we were still partying like it was 1999. the airplanes falling out of the skies were just a year and half late.

that's what died, our smugness, that's why rehashing it hurts so much, we never got over that.

      - I have to say, of all the things that Bush did or didn't do during his term, the "My Pet Goat" incident isn't really a fair complaint. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 11, 19:57 14
        
        I don't think it's a tremendously big deal, but it's fair that he cops some shit for it. - mafic Sep 11, 20:23 2
        
        Let's just say that if Jason Garrett had that look right now, Dallas fans would rant about it until the day he is fired/quits. -- nm - David Sep 11, 20:34

        It's my least favorite criticism of Bush. -- nm - TFox Sep 11, 20:03
        
        It's representative of the fact that we elected someone who wasn't bright enough to react quickly during a crisis. - David Sep 11, 20:03 9
        
        I think he was unfortunate to have a camera on him at the relevant moments. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 11, 20:17 4

        About my take on it, and throughout his administration, a man who seemed removed from many situations. Not on top of things so to speak. -- nm - budice Sep 11, 20:06 3
        
        This was illustrated so well in a special on MSNBC this weekend, where Bush is interviewed about 9/11 and its aftermath. He says the most nerve - jnine Sep 11, 20:46
        
        yet JFK almost daily was stoned from pain meds for his back and handled his office admirably in these situations -- nm - peglegpete Sep 11, 20:11 1
