By Laura Kriho Source: Daily Camera The U.S. federal government was shown to be completely incompetent once again when terrorists hijacked four different planes from three different airports within the span of an hour on Sept. 11. I suppose this attack should come as no surprise, since this is the same federal government that "accidentally" bombed the Chinese embassy during the war against Yugoslavia because their "intelligence" couldn't provide them with a map any Belgrade tourist could have gotten, and the same government that engaged in their own terrorist act by destroying a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan because they mistakenly thought it was a chemical weapons facility. I'm sure the solution of the U.S. Congress will be the same as it was after the Oklahoma City bombing: throw more money at federal-security agencies and enact new anti-terrorism laws. I hope that U.S. citizens will not be appeased by this response once again. We already spend billions of dollars on "security" and "intelligence," and our laws are strict and severe enough. What we need is for people to start doing their jobs! The job of the FBI should be to protect us against terrorist attacks like the ones we just suffered. Instead, the FBI is spending its time and money investigating and killing U.S. citizens, as in Ruby Ridge, Waco and on Sept. 3, 2001, when two peaceful hemp activists were brutally gunned down and killed by the FBI at the Rainbow Farm Campground in Vandalia, Mich. See: http://www.cannabisnews.com/ It's time we demanded that the federal government operate like a business and stop wasting our tax dollars. In a business environment, this terrorist attack would cause people to lose their jobs! I would like to see every person that could have in any way prevented this attack fired and replaced by someone competent. George Bush says he wants to bring "those responsible ... to justice." Let's have justice start at home. He should begin immediately by firing the heads of the FBI, CIA and NSA. They failed, and their failure cost thousands of lives! Will they continue to collect their paychecks? We don't need more money or more laws to prevent this from ever happening again; we just need the federal government to start doing its job! And that will only be the beginning. To quote songwriter Gil Scott-Heron," Peace ain't coming our way; we've got to work for peace." Laura Kriho - Nederland Newshawk: Colo. Hemp Init.
