Well I read both of your thoughts about it and hopefully I don't get eaten alive by you two and probably a lot of others by my comment here..

But I see things a little differently. I honestly don't think that Bush had known that 9/11 was coming. He lives in America too, I really can't imagine him or many others that would want that to happen to their own country. And I personally don't think that he could get away with all of that if he really knew it was happening. I mean that's a big thing to keep a secret, and if he had told like his close people in office or something, you know over news media. They definitely would have caught it, you can't get anything past those people, unless they're reporting the wrong thing.

And also, I have a lot of friends in Lebanon. They were exchange students here in America last summer, and although they're about to graduate high school [I don't know how old anyone here is sorry] they are really really educated. I mean, they obviously had to be to be in the program they were in, but my point is, they aren't like stupid normal high school kids. But they had to go through terrible security at the airport, they searched their bags and it really got to them, but those people, through all of the tough times they've had and are currently going through in Lebanon have nothing against the US and Bush. They don't think Bush is trying to sabotage the world and keep them in war, they think the Americans are trying to help them stop the violence in their country. If ARABIC people feel that way, don't you think Americans should at least back their president? Can you imagine what he's going through? Everytime I hear arguments like this, you have to wonder, if he read these, what would he think? And sorry if you disagree but I honestly don't think he would be worried you were catching onto his plan.

But I'm definitely not for war by any means, I mean all of my friends in Lebanon are in serious danger where they live because of it. But I think Bush is trying to do what he can to keep us out of it or end it.



Sorry if you disagree I wasn't trying to start anything, I know this is a really touchy subject, but that's just my view :]
