Panic-mongering in the service of war and reaction at the RNC, page 1

I found this article on Zogby.com to be really good. I suggest you read it. It is not biased in the fact that it criticzes both Bush and Kerry.

The opening day of the Republican National Convention was devoted to a crude exploitation of the September 11, 2001 tragedy, with the transparent aim of creating a climate of fear and justifying policies of war and political reaction under the banner of the �war on terrorism.�

The speakers improbably cast George W. Bush as the hero of that tragic day, and portrayed the political and intellectual cipher in the White House as a man of �strength,� �principle,� and even �vision.�

For nearly three years, the Bush administration has used the September 11 attacks as the pretext for every aspect of its agenda, from the long-planned wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to the abrogation of Constitutional rights and civil liberties, to massive tax cuts for the rich and new inroads into the rights of workers.

Find this part to be quite interesting:

The former mayor went on to echo Bush�s infamous ultimatum to the peoples of the world that �either you are with us or you are with the terrorists,� this time with the implicit suggestion that only a supporter of terrorism would oppose keeping the Republican president in the White House.

If I'm reading that paragraph correctly, Gulliani is saying that if you don't vote for Bush than you're labeled as a terrorist. This is why I don't like 9/11 being used for politics right before an election.
