Things SHOULD have changed for everyone. People should have gotten less arrogant about this country but it's still AMERICA IS GREAT GREAT GREAT, WE ARE SO MUCH BETTER AND WE WILL CRUSH ANYONE WHO DOESN'T THINK SO LA LA LA. WE ARE AMERICA WE RULE WE ARE ALL POWERFUL. You think that attitude would have calmed down (or even dissapeared) after they showed us that we are not, in fact, perfect/awesome/great/whatever. And while I don't like to bash on Bush for the way he's reacted to it and handled it - I'm going to here.
He has spit on the memory of that day and the meaning and loss behind it. He's used it as an excuse to further his own fucking bullshit agenda. If he wanted to go after Iraq, FINE. FINE FINE FINE. Wars happen. But using 9/11 as an EXCUSE to start/further one when it was unrelated? BULLSHIT. Compelete and utter BULLSHIT. He tugged on people's heartstrings and their grief and used it to get people to rally behind him for revenge when in reality it was ... GOD I can't even think about this anymore. And how he used it during his re-election campaign? JFSDLKFDJF. Okay I'm really done now.
