Dear Andrew,
I watched you on Bill Maher's show last night
and am sure I'm not the only one to send you
the facts on Michael Moore's appearance at
the Dem Convention. If you watched any of the
convention you saw MM in a box seated near
The Carters. From his website blog (posted
from DemocracyNow.org):
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?id=113"He was not an official guest of the Democrats--in fact he was directly not invited to the convention. Some observers say that's because his blunt and spontaneous style would be too risky for a convention that is more scripted than most Shakespeare plays. Furthermore, Moore has said in recent days that he has not endorsed John Kerry, but rather the movement to remove George Bush from power. Moore made it into a skybox at the FleetCenter after an invitation from the family of former president Jimmy Carter. During Carter's convention speech, Michael sat two seats down from Rosalyn Carter inside the skybox."
As to the criminal actions on 9/11 which were devasting happened
to 3,000 people in the Twin Towers, planes and an area of the Pentagon.
It didn't happen to a whole country, just like Columbine, Waco and
Oklahoma City didn't. Not all of our eyes were clouded by the
dust falling in New York city, much as they want to believe they
are the center of this country. This adminstration would have been better off gathering the world's sympathies and with their help
pursue bin Laden through intelligence, not carpet-bombing a
whole country and its citizens.
Iraq had nothing to do with the criminal actions on 9/11, since
most of the hijackers were Saudis. Instead of carpet bombing
Saudi Arabia, this administration whose PNAC agenda had them
going into Iraq, Iran and Syria, chose to confuse the American
public (who don't read) into thinking Iraq had something to
do with the criminal activities of September 11.
Do you now have the same outrage that we've killed over
16,000 Iraqi citizens, women, children, old, young in
this illegal and pre-emptive invasion of a sovereign country
to eliminate one man? I doubt it, because THOSE people aren't Americans
and aren't living here, so who cares.
Pre-emptive attacks are just terrorist attacks, like the
one on 9/11. America can do better.
