How Convenient
RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 18, 2005
Dear Editor,
I read today the story of the CIA and FBI warning us about al Qaeda terrorists being sponsored by Iran. How convenient for our government to once again find information about a country who may or may not use its nuclear weapons to attack the “homeland,” yet is dolling out threat after threat to push Bush's war on the Middle East. My question is why Syria or Iran when we know that Korea has nukes and is more of a threat to our country than Iran or Syria put together. Is this another scare tactic by our administration like all the pretty colored rating threats that came after 9/11, and the threats before Bush was elected and all the threats from al Qaeda before the Iraqi vote? It seems to me that when President Bush has an agenda, all he has to do is push the fear button and the American people will snap to his will. I think this government has cried wolf one time too many for this citizen.
