I fear we are on the verge of declaring war and our racial biases will come out

"The events of yesterday are not over. We are a country who is seeking strong leadership and direction, and we have yet to see it. A four-minute poorly-written speech delivered nearly twelve hours after events began is clearly not enough to sway my opinion of President Bush. I hope to see Bush inform the country today of his administration's plans on how we, as a country, are going to deal with this tragedy. I hope to hear that our intelligence community has learned of who is responsible. And I hope that we take swift and serious action in response to the thousands of innocent people who needlessly died. Anything less will be seen as a failure of Presidential duties."
