The sincerity of W's post-9-11 statement

Remember when he said: "They hate us for our freedom?"


Well, if that was true -- and it seems as if he (or his script writers) really believed it -- then he took the necessary steps to end the threat and protect us from foreign terrorism.


Enter Homeland Security which "has an interest" in which you may be investigated or interrogated or whatever based on what you say or who you know or the fact that your wife's first cousin's mother-in-law is suspect because her Sodality Society group gave $17 to a Puerto Rican gardener with a stammer and big nose that made someone think he might be an Arab.


A simple solution -- they hate us for our freedom?

Take away the freedom, and maybe they won't hate us anymore and we won't have to worry about foreign terrorism anymore.

So simple.
