Ground Zero
This is an election year for the lawmakers (Congress) in the USA, which is only a couple of months away from the election day. The Right-wingers do not have real issues because the Republican rule for the last two terms have completely ruined the US economy. Irrational and unjust Iraq war have drained the US treasury of one trillion dollar, almost 5,000 soldiers died and several thousand were severely injured. On the Iraqi side tens of thousands of innocent civilians were killed or injured for no reason. The US has lost its moral and ethical image in the world scene by brutally treating people in Iraqi prisons. Now the Religious right Republicans have this Mosque issue out of context to incite hatred and raw ethnic emotion to arouse sentiments to win the election.
