Dennis Kucinich said "we owe it to the memories of those who lost their lives on 9-11 to remember, to reflect, and also to bring to justice those responsible. We also have a similar obligation not to use the events of 9-11 and the great losses which so many endured as a pretext for launching a war against Iraq. Iraq was not responsible for 9-11. Iraq has not been linked to 9-11. Yet here we are on the anniversary of that grim day, and all the administration is attempting to do is reframe 9-11 by beating the drum for war against a nation not connected to 9-11. America has had enough violence in the past year for our country to have to suffer even more violence to the truth which brings us into an unjustified war. Let us heal our Nation and heal it with truth and with justice. That is the American way." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
