Iraq and Fitzgerald

After the events of Sept. 11, 2001, the American public was frightened, and a large number of us gave the Bush Administration entirely too much power, in the hope that they would make us safe from terrorists.  In the wave of patriotism which followed the attacks, anyone who opposed the Administration policies was treated as someone who was un-American, and soft on terrorism.  The Bush Administration took advantage of the trust placed in them to advance their political agenda, which included invading Iraq.  That is why the intelligence was manipulated to justify an unwise invasion, which has led to the situation in which we find ourselves.
