While to most Americans, the anniversary of September 11th is a time for remembrance and charity. For George Bush and the White House, it is a day of justification: justification of the war in Iraq, justification for the deficit the country has been plunged into funding the war, and justification for all of the laws which have restricted civil liberties in the past years (such as the patriot act).
This should be a time of grieving and support. Rather than giving help to those in need, and taking a hand in the lives of our nations people, the government would rather use the events of 9/11 to further its stake in the middle east, to draw more support for its war mongering, and to concoct more justifications for why its treating its own citizens as enemies.
