Is he an opportunist? Probably---aren't all people whow are trying to make a buck off of something opportunists? Maybe his motives had some level of nobility to them, but not knowing him, I will never know. I can not watch a movie about 9/11 yet. I watched the PBS made dramatization, and that was enough. I am still too angry at those in the administration, from SEVERAL administrations, for not only allowing the event to occur, but for whoring the event, and the lives lost, for their personal gain. Hell, Reagan CREATED the damned Taliban, and Bin Laden, and basically armed and trained them. THis shit goes so far back, including what the potical administrations do to the US's own citizens, for as long as America has existed. THink Lincoln was a saint? Go read your history about the policies he put in effect. Washington? Jefferson? Roosevelt? Hoover? THe list goes on and on. Everytime a US president has gotten war crazy, the people on ALL sides of the question have suffered, and lost. I am most pissed about the recent crop of American presidents, republican and democrat, who once in power, decide that they just HAVE to say "Hey, I'm the US president--I have a powerful, expensive military--I think I'll use it" Feh---talk about the big cock syndrome...it's like they suddenly gained this enormous penis, and just HAVE to show it off, and wave it in everybodies faces, and fuck the world with it.....unfortunately, given how much other countries leaders have often done the same thing, both male AND female leaders, I'm not sure what the answer is to keep the egos in check......
