To Brads point about our shattered image. I do agree that ousting Bush will help our image but it will take much more than a new face to help repair it. There were and still are many reasons why we were attacked on 9/11 and prior to it and it was not because of one particular individual or policy. What was our image when the following took place?
1988 bombing of NY bound 747 in Scotland. 35 Syracuse students and many US military personel killed.
1993 first bombing of the World Trade Center. 6 killed.
1996 Bombing of the Khobar Towers Military Complex . 19 servicemen killed
1998 Bombing of 2 US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killing 224.
2000 Bombing of the Navy Destroyer USS Cole. 17 killed.
2001 2nd Terrorist Attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
Bush has made things worse by invading Iraq but our image was not too great prior to that as you can see. I am not defending Bush at all. Iraq was a huge mistake in the way it was handled.
The world sees a new face but will they see the change they want from our new Prez?
Just thought I would share on our new blog and HOPE Obama's policies live up to his image.
