    confronted

    v

    Aren’t we at some point the blame for the tragedies that hit?
    Don’t you feel that in certain places we put our nose were it doesn’t fit
    Iraq Iran Saddam Vietnam, I pose this question at what point did these countries pose a threat to the U.S.
    Look at the facts aren’t we still paying large amounts for oil and gas.
    I say we are confronted with the fact that were fighting to preserve the relationship we have with big oil tycoons who in turn take our money to buy our gas stations liquor stores and 7-11s.
    In fact we are putting our life sources in the hands of potential terrorist.
    Aren’t we confronted now with the fact that we are now being forced to be racially bias.
    Terrorism isn’t genetic it’s taught now I’m not saying that all Muslims are terrorist but yet unbeknownst to me the same guy that I’m buying meat from could be a terrorist.
    A doctor a soldier are we not confronted with enough inner American turmoil with out having to concern ourselves with third world countries.
    Yet now that we are confronted with our own backyard being the thrust of terrorist attacks our governments actions are now being judged.
    I myself don’t approve of the war but as an American I support our troops.
    We are confronted with the fact that theses people are smart, not only did they use our planes to attack us they used our kindness our training our technology our box cutters our mail system our people. Tell me how does one expect to launch a surprise attack when before you do it you broadcast it on national TV. We have sent thousands of our young men and women to fight in wars to restore their way of life when we have yet to confront the problems we have right here at home.
    Are we now confronted with the fact that our government is sending our young people untrained to a foreign soil to die yet here at home we still have homeless hungry dying American problems that have not been confronted?
