In the 9/11 attack, a little over three thousand people were killed. Following that, the U S government was partially reorganized and the U S went to war. In the hurricanes, in the area around New Orleans, over six thousand people died. Now, over twelve hundred children are living with foster parents or in institutions because their birth parents cannot be located, dead or alive. Months later, the best the U S government can do for housing is temporary shelter in hotels, canvas tents and a few travel trailers. Over eighty percent of those who suffered the most were African/American. Is there a connection? How can the U S spend over $300 billion on war against a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11, and not take care of the survivors of hurricanes in our own land?

A new medical center, with a modern hospital, a college of medicine and allied sciences, a college of nursing, plus outlying clinics, costs approximately one billion dollars for construction and the first five years of operation. For the war in Iraq the U S could have built 300 of these modern medical centers throughout the world. Which option has the greater chance of successful outcomes, war or medical centers?

By the way, the notion that the U S had to fight Saddam Hussein, just as the U S had to go to war againt Hitler is totally bogus: Within a week of Pearl Harbor, Hitler declared war on the U S, not the other way around. In the case of both Japan and the European Axis, war was first declared on the U S -- then the U S responded in kind as a defense. Can Fox News and Rush Limbaugh be that stupid? or do they think that we are that stupid that we would believe them?
