I think it should be Bush Jr to issue to death penalty instead. Certainly no blood on his hands.
Bush Jr. was nothing more than a country bumpkin - I don't actually see him as being "evil" in that sense, especially when at the time, almost 90% of the country wanted their blood lust. Granted, those calls for revenge were predicated on information and intelligence supplied by the Bush Administration.
I would say the real architects of the 9/11 fiasco and Iraq War had more to do with NeoCons controlling Bush and basically calling the shots. And you don't even have to go all conspiracy theory and say that the Bush Admin instigated 9/11. Before they ever took office, they laid out a best case scenario in getting their war plans on Iraq approved, and that included a "pearl harbor type event" that they foresaw as being needed to change the public's attitude towards going to war with the ME. So even if they had nothing to do with planes hitting towers, they were more than happy to draw loose connections to Iraq in order to fulfill their agenda.
None of that is debateable, as anyone can go online and read the PNAC's document "Rebuilding America's Defenses", which was published before Bush and the NeoCons came in to power. Maybe people just consider it a "coincidence" that the gameplan following 9/11 followed "Rebuilding America's Defenses" to a T. To me, one too many coincidences is no longer a coincidence, and it bothers me that the Pentagon budget, the war chest, and specific players in our community who benefit from that, are all just considered wild conspiracy theories if you don't follow the standard narrative. I mean for Christ's sakes, the day before 9/11, Rumsfeld went on live TV and admitted that the Pentagon could not, and has not been able to pass an audit for decades, and that a few "trillion" dollars were simply unaccounted for. That little announcement alone should be enough for people to say "wait a minute, what is going on here". Trillions of dollars just missing with no accountability whatsoever.
For me, my biggest pet peeve is accountability, and the rank nature of money in politics. Things like a corporate lobby should be illegal, I don't care if you want to split hairs and label it lobbying instead of bribes, it's the same f-n thing. Even if no quid-pro-quo is agreed upon between donor and politician, it is implied. Political office and the government should be about serving the greatest number of people, in the interest of those people.
