Our terrorist nation

I am confused. President Bush says we are fighting terrorism. But who is it that has weapons of mass destruction (i.e. nuclear weapons), is planning to make more, and has said he will use them? Who has germ warfare, including anthrax and chemical weapons? Who manufactures every kind of weapon from guns and tanks and planes and bombs including land mines, smart bombs, heat bombs, antipersonnel bombs and sells them all over the world to friend and foe alike? We do.

And who is destroying the Bill of Rights and the Constitution to stifle or arrest all dissenters? And who has backed away from every international rule of law? I believe we are the most dangerous terrorist country in the world and I have never observed such arrogant, ignorant, uncaring people as those who now occupy the White House. What does it mean to be a super power? Is this what it means?
