Dear Editor

Don't blame the president alone!

We cannot blame President Bush alone for the war with Iraq. It was the
American people who refused to hold our elected officials, news media
outlets, religious leaders, and cooperation’s accountable.

Instead many Americans buried their head in the sand like the legend
concerning the ostrich bird, and remained silent concerning the war.

It is said that in our form of government that the power is with the
people. However, after 911, apparently we have been tricked, used, and
misled by politicians, mass media, and false patriots ---who seems to be
chiseling away at our Constitutional Rights.

Here in America people were afraid to speak out against the war with
Iraq. They believed they would be viewed as unpatriotic.

Now unless real Americans step up to the plate of responsibility. Our
nation may go into decline. With our active duty, retired, disabled
veterans suffering, and their benefits being cut while the American
people seem to be powerless in helping their own children---in the Armed
Forces.

Therefore, Americans must question their government as to why--- the
Islamic world hates Americans---so much.

Is it our foreign policy towards Israel and the billions of dollars we
give. Of which is being used to oppress the defenseless Palestinian
people--- to the point of strapping bombs around their waists, blowing
themselves up in a public place to maintain some level of dignity, and
self respect before their love ones?

So, was 911, a retaliatory strike because of our inhuman foreign policy
around the world? I pray not, but questions must be asked and
answered. Peace, and God Bless everybody!
