The 9/11 ‘Overreaction’? Nonsense. -- Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post
The new conventional wisdom on 9/11: We have created a decade of fear. We overreacted to 9/11 — al-Qaeda turned out to be a paper tiger; there never was a second attack — thereby bankrupting the country, destroying our morale and sending us into national decline.

How is it possible t "protect civillians" by attacking small cities with the assistance of NATO War Planes? Everybody should read the Reuters Report on the Truth about the manner in which the whole WAR against Libya was fabricated. I have never been for Gadaffi, but there exists no excuse for the destruction of a nation that attacked nobody and enjoyed the best quality of life of all Arabian nations.
9/11 is the biggest lie in history, it was an inside Job Wall to Wall by the Ziocons from day one...with loads of Patsies....
Thanks for the material. Krauthammer is always a good read.
