Our country needs a serious discussion

regarding how we as a nation can be conned into attacking other nations by sociopaths who have a selfish ideological agenda.

In recent days it has become clear that even the attacks on the World Trade Center could have been stopped. If the nations election had not been hijacked in 2000 and Al Gore had been elected President I would bet that he would have taken the CIA briefings seriously and launched a full defense of our nation during the summer of 2001 rather than taking a vacation.
Things like this would not be happening:

I realize "what ifs" are tough to discuss but our direction is to easily diverted from the true path of a great nation.

Look up who and what a sociopath is. Many of our "leaders" qualify and yet they are in positions of power directing our national assets.

the Shrub was installed into office by friends of his father on the Supreme Court.

I know I was ticked off about it. I can barely imagine how ticked off Bin Laden was.
