“Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror… The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.” – Paul Krugman
I cannot justify the second war spawned as a result of the war on terror, but Krugman’s statements with regard to what happened in the aftermath of of 9/11, I think, are particularly egregious. If what he says is in fact true, there are dozens of names on both sides of the political aisle that could be added to this list.
The only person who should be ashamed is Krugman and the fact that he has disabled comments on this particular post exposes him for the coward that he is.
