Six Years Later....

America remembers the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on The World Trade
Center, The Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. as that gruesome event's
sixth anniversary passed this week.
Osama bin Laden remains free in the world, where he continues to plot against Americans, but our country's military is bogged down in an unnecessary quagmire in Iraq.
Only after he secured re-election in 2004 did George Bush's incompetence manifest itself in terms so clear almost 80 percent of the public now disapproves of his job performance.
The disaster leading up to and after Hurricane Katrina, illegal spying on Americans without warrants, exposing the identity of an undercover CIA agent, tax cuts for the rich plus budget and trade deficits that guarantee more Americans will be poor, amnesty for illegal aliens (the number of which grew by 6 million since the terrorist attacks), and many more examples have shown that America made awful mistakes in 2000 and 2004.
Now, Rudy Guiliani hopes to ride into the White House on his record following the al Qaeda attacks and the 'party of the people' seems dominated by candidates who are funded by corporate interests that represent everything real Democrats should be against.
New Jersey's local political scene is rapidly changing due to record numers of arrests and convictions for government corruption, but too many crooked politicians remain immune to electoral defeat or criminal indictment.

May the victims of 9/11 rest in peace. We who survive cannot afford to relax until some sanity returns to our government.
