9/11 was bad. But it was an excuse for worse. The Iraq war, which was spuriously connected to 9/11 – which was organized by Saudi citizens, and had no impact on
the Bush family’s embrace of the Saudi royal family with its millions – has been a much worse event than 9/11 quantitatively: more deaths, more money spent, more destruction of community in the world for the United States, more distrust of our own government.
Just saying.
