I Remember!

RECEIVED Tue., Sept. 6, 2005

Dear Editor,
    In the Sept. 2 issue of the Chronicle ["Postmarks"], Tena Tamblyn asks if we remember what happened September 11, 2001. Yes, Tena, I remember that a group led by a Saudi, Osama bin Laden, brother to George W. Bush's first business partner, attacked the United States. The attack was in retaliation for the presence of U.S. forces in the Islamic holy land. The group was composed almost entirely of Saudis. Financing was done through the wife of the UN delegate from Saudi Arabia. More than half of the foreign fighters killing our children in Iraq are from Saudi Arabia. So the Bush response was to cherry-pick intelligence to sell an invasion of the secular Islamic nation of Iraq. Our president still holds hands with the leaders of the country most responsible for the spilling of American blood. Yeah, I remember 9/11. And know that all Bush supporters have the blood of our children on their hands.
