| Gnizmo said: For those whining about the 9/11 comparison I have a question. Are you just as upset at the widespread comparisons to Katrina? Huge loss of life, devastated many families, and made on a consistent basis. I have heard no one raise a stink about it on this board though. The comparison this time was very apt actually. Whether or not it turns out as badly (in terms of policy) we will have to see, but it will lead down the same legislative path. |
Apparently it is fine to call the BP spill "Obama's Katrina" and compare it to Katrina. And it is AWESOME to compare 9/11 to Pearl Harbor, over and over and over. That comparison was used to start a war with Iraq. Both of these events have had a large impact on America than 9/11 overall (beyond the reaction). But now, say that the oil spill will impact American policy the way 9/11 did with foreign policy, and that is seen as "tone deaf"? So now, 9/11 is a naughty word we can't even use EVER in discussion of American policy? Are also to then say that NO other attack against America is like 9/11?
