CATAPULT THAT PROPAGANDA

Do I feel safe after September 11, 2001? Has President Bush shown leadership that makes our country safe?

President Bush botched up Katrina and made another Viet Nam out of Iraq. As Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak predicted, President Bush produced 100 new bin Ladens.

In invading Iraq and attacking its mosques, Bush has assaulted the holiest shrines of Islam. That error resulted from President Bush's ignorance of other cultures. Since Islam is the state religion of huge numbers of followers in many parts of the world, Bush now confronts those followers willing to die in what they conceive to be a defense of their faith.

If Bush had diverted a fraction of the cost of killing those people to understanding and improving their economically-backward nations, it's clear where we in the West would be today: on a forward-looking path to a peaceful future.

I do not feel safe after September 11, 2001, but maybe President Bush thinks I do. When the president was suburban Rochester earlier this year to make a speech about Social Security, he seemed to think making me believe him would only take repetitive exercise, kind of like, shall we say, athletics? "See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in," he said, "to kind of catapult the propaganda."

"Catapult the propaganda ...."

After my election to City Council, I will press Council to send a message to the president calling for a quick end to this disastrous and worsening war.
