You know Chuck, the day after 9/11, I was returning to Brisbane from a court case in western Queensland with a police officer, and I uttered these same sentiments to him. It was just so obvious that the US, albeit by tragic means, was suddenly in a position where they had the support of the world basically. All they had to do was think it through and get it right. The opportunity was there to really make a difference. Unfortunately the unforgettable George Dubya was in charge.
It was so obvious, even one day after 9/11, that weird George had been swept up in the inevitable calls for retribution and revenge. His ego was out of control with the sudden support that he felt with every simplistic, yobbo utterance. Unfortunately for us, Little Johnny was in the US and felt some passion for the first time in his life and he too, lost control...nlol. What a performance it was by the little fella!...lol. His eyebrows were standing out at right angles with excitement.
And here we are, seven years later, and look at the mess they managed to create. Well done boys. No doubt about ya....
More terrorists on the planet than ever before, and growing by the hundreds or thousands daily............
