Our Former President

George W. Bush might be known as the infamous 43rd president of the United States by many. Yet when we listened to him on, an infamous day as well, 9/11, noone doubted his decisions. Why is that? For one, the US had just been attacked.
President Bush stated "Tonight we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom" Everyone thought we were going to defend our freedom. But I say, what freedom was taken from us? We might have lost the "freedom to live safely" but then again the government decided to spy on. some of his words such as "They stand against us, because we stand in their way." sound full of swagger if we think about them today. Now that we know that people in the middle east are dying. But when the attacks on September 11th occured these words meant different things.
So goes the way and when our ex-president used them. Noone would like to live in a country with a president who thinks his country is all powerful. I know that I wouldn't. But we fell for his words because of anger. The president knew how to get to the people is he used the right words and in the right order. If he said "we're going to attack the Taliban because we can" no one would have probably agreed. But after US citizens died and many were outraged these type of words didn't matter and so we went onto war...
