i was searching for an article when i realized that sept. 11 was coming up. i remember the day we were attacked by terrorist, it was a very gloomy day even if it was sunny in san diego. I was kept home from school and stayed glued to the news for once (this was usually very hard to get me to do while as a 9 year old). I remember bush's rash decision to go to war with the terrorist who had attacked us which where from Afghanistan..but it had stricken me as odd when the war was later known as the war in Iraq. i mean, call me a dumbly but im more than 100% sure that these are 2 different places. I remember that week my dad telling me he was going to get deployed. WHY did bush make his decision so fast? We also heard the war was because it was believed that iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which were never found thanks for the waste of time and money bush. Next The war was given many titles such as "freedom for Iraq" "war on terrorist" wait freedom for iraq? HOLD ON woah buddy! i may not know all of my American history but im pretty sure we don't free the terrorist. Which is why im sure bush knew the terrorist where from Afghanistan and he just wanted to have a war with iraq, but the "WAR ON TERRORIST" was catchier than "I WANT A BATTLE THAT I CAN CONVINCE AMERICA IS FOR THERE JUSTICE" so this leads me to my huge question of why we are at war. natural sources we rape iraq of ($OIL$)? freedom for iraq? or the protection of our in debt country. i don't know about you but id rather have more funds for my education and retirement than watching this oh so boring game of battleship bush is playing with our troops. BORING give me a reality show why dont cha!
so back to the remembrance of everybody's lives lost on September 11th 2001. the day people where robbed for there rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Liberty they may have because at least there not in this mess of a country now, but there lives where taken. Bush used them, he used them to tame his crave to play in this endless war that makes no sense. in an article i read in fox news they quoted bush saying:
“Five years after 9/11, America still faces determined enemies. We will not be safe until those enemies are finally defeated,”
he said this 2 years ago. i don't understand who our determined enemies are last time i checked those enemies where in Afghanistan those , i thought after we captured Sadan Hussain and Osama bin Ladden the war would be over!! Bush has too much power, Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine had believed no ONE person should run everything i think its safe to say we have enough anti bush movements to have had him empeached years ago. why hasnt he been? i hate politics, there so sneaky. i mean i wanna say YAY obama but im wondering what hes got up his sleeves, but im sure hell be ALOT better than bush.

Ashley Matthews, I like how you brought in your opinion in this blog. You showed me information I didn't know before, such as some of the reasons why we went to war. I also liked how you included your family life, because it's easier to relate with you. Good Job!
