ABC's Path to 9-11

Tonight I watched the first part of ABC's Path to 9-11. This film was highly criticized by the Clintons. I wondered why and was even more curious to watch it. After I watched, I thought the film did a good job portraying the enemy we are up against and their determination to defeat us and bring civilization under the bondage of their ways and the fear it brings.

The Clintons made a bad move to criticize publicizing what happened under their watch, which led to 9-11. Perhaps they would like it better had President Bush shouldered the blame for what their negligence had allowed to happen. I am glad for the film because it shows that we were in this war before 9-11, though as in World War II we did not recognize it until Pearl Harbor. Thankfully we have President Bush as our leader who recognizes the threat and is determined against all odds to defeat our enemy and protect us.

The film left a haunting impression of the hatred of our enemies and the oppressive atmosphere in which terrorism grows. A new ideology needs to grow in the Middle East, one of freedom and democracy. It is nice to see it beginning to grow in Iraq and Afghanistan.
