9/11 And The War
by Rita

9/11 and the war in Iraq go hand in hand. Saddam Hussein was an oppressive and cruel dictator and he had a lot of help from Al Qaeda. These insurgents are in Iraq but most come from Iran and Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden orchestrated 9/11 and he lived in Iraq. President Bush and the Congress chose to go to war based on the intelligence they were given. The democrats who are now against the war voted for it back then. They just try to conveniently forget and make the voters forget. 9/11 was a terrible tragedy against our country and against the great city of New York. We feel the loss of 9/11 each and everyday when we don't see the Twin Towers on the skyline.
