Dear President Bush,
Just thought you should know that on 9/11/2001, America was attacked by al-Qaeda, and the man responsible for it was Saddam Hussein Osama bin Laden.
I know there was some confusion over this. Since it took the world about a day or two to figure it out, it is a bit unfair to expect your administration to understand 4 years later as you screw around in Iraq. But I thought someone should let you know, since apparently you've forgotten.
Thousands of Americans were killed in the attack. I am not blaming you for it, but I think you might want to take a break from slaughtering the Iraqis to at least make a token effort to catch bin Laden again. I know it seemed like a lot of work to go into the mountains when you had him cornered, but sometimes as President, you should make that extra little effort.
Because what happened four years ago today still isn't over. And the man responsible for it still is not caught. And though nothing could change the horror of 9/11, capturing bin Laden would be a step towards the healing. But for the past few years, I've really wondered if you forgot. I know I haven't, and millions of others haven't either.
I know the neo-cons that surround you have their heads too far up their asses to see much, but I think most Americans would appreciate it if you could at least remember about that bin Laden guy sometimes, and I thought I would take the time to remind you about him.
Sincerely,
James Chung
