A Safer World from Terrorists

In a post dated July 23, I posted a comment concerning the President's claim that his policies, notably the war in Iraq, have made the world a safer place. I then asked him to tell that to the people of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Spain - countries that had suffered devastating terrorist attacks since the President's remarks.

It is with a heavy heart that I now also request him to tell that to the people of Jakarta, Indonesia.

Mr. President, repeating the refrain over and over - an adroit use of the big lie technique - may in fact get you re-elected in November, but it isn't going to change the fact that the assertion is nothing more than a bald faced lie. The truth of the matter being that your policies have in fact made the world a more dangerous, not a safer, place.
