Two weeks before the attack on the WTC, the conference on World Racism was held in Durban, South Africa. The leaders of the free world did not attend the entire conference. After Bush realized how silly he looked with not having a United States representative there he sends Colin Powell. Powell goes to the conference saunters in late and leaves before the conference is over. Bush's assessment was that the conference was a anti-USA and anti-semitic event. The voices of the Palestinian,African,Asian and Hispanic people were ignored by this government. The reason for so much of the anger and violence contuing in the middle East is because of America's continuing defense of Israel which has not allowed the Palestinian people to establish their own identity and independence since 1948. Instead of sitting these powers down to get to the bottom of their discrepancies and work towards getting Arabs a piece of their own land in Israel , instead Bush confers with Saudi Arabia and the Bin Laden family who's only interest is selling oil and this is why Osama Bin Laden will never be found. Simply put, it's a conflict of interest. He who pays the fiddler, calls the toons.
What the conference in South Africa revealed about the Bush administration was that it is arrogant and short sighted when it comes to terroistic violence in America. Al Queda had issued many threats against the USA. It would have been wise to have the CIA present throughout this conference. While there were many legitmate demands made by many groups, Al Queda, Hamas and others terrroist groups have to had been present. This was the second attack on the WTC and should have been secured. Internal scobbling between the FBI and the CIA and even the New York Police and Fire fighters reveals how disorganized and screwed up this country is internally and will not be able to root violence out of this country as long as Bush is in office. John Kerry for president.
