9-11
He could have mobilized the army to all the seaports, airports and borders.
He could have bombed a trench along the deserted US border with Mexico.
He could have poured billions into hi-tech security devices.
He could have poured billions in educational aid to Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan.
He could have poured millions into building internet access in poor nations.
He could have poured billions into food and housing for refugees here and abroad.
He could have poured billions into AIDS drugs and education in Africa.
He could have poured billions into the urban African American communities.
He could have poured billions into health care for all Americans.
He could have poured billions into free college/vocational/technical education for poor Americans.
He could have spared more than 2000 American military lives.
He poured our money into death, destruction, corruption and retribution.
And we, as a nation, let him.
This is the enduring tragedy of 9-11.
