September 11th. I usually don't jump on the bandwagon, but here I am.

So today is all about remembering those who died on that day. And every year on this day I read comments like this

"Some of us have not forgotten and I for one never will. The cowards who did this will never give up, and we should be vigilant about bringing them to justice. My prayers to all the suffering families, not just today but every day. I hope we will not pull our troops out of Iraq until we “win” this war. To do otherwise would be admiting defeat, and Americans are winners, not losers. Three Cheers for America! That’s all !"

Now I am not that politically aware, but I do know that Iraq was not responsible for the attacks on September 11th, 2001. They did not claim responsibility for the attacks but they did applaud what the terrorists had done.
Osama Bin Laden is supposedly and likely the man who financed and orchestrated that day. He is Saudi born, and had been living in Afghanistan at the time of the attacks. To find out more about why he did what he did you can read
GW Bush and his cronies used 9/11 to further another agenda, remove Sadam Hussein from power. Iraq and Afghanistan are not that close to each other geographically but because of our poor understanding of politics, religion, and geography in general (see Miss Teen South Carolina 2007 for an example of this) is was easy for them to pull the bait and switch.
And as for winning the war in Iraq.....nobody will win it.
This is a highly abbreviated response but you can always go out and read! Look at maps, realize that the US is not the center of the world and that outside the US there is a world that many people from this country know nothing about.

Oh, and joining MoveOn.org will leave you in your inbox more than enough food for thought,
They paid for this to run yesterday in the NYT:
