The concerns of most Americans who find it harder and harder to make ends meet, and who want to bring our troops home from Iraq, were ignored by George W. Bush in his State of the Union address. As if the 2006 elections to change the country’s direction had never happened, Bush’s proposals only represented the interests of his narrow base, “the haves and the have mores.”

The Bush Administration's bombing of Afghanistan Oct. 7 is not a solution to the terrible events of September 11th. Bush's action is driven more by revenge and retaliation, and is aimed at gaining a geo-political advantage. It is not an effective approach to ending terrorism and bringing those responsible to justice.

The terrorist attacks that killed and wounded thousands of innocent people Sept. 11 are crimes that call for universal, worldwide condemnation. At this writing the toll of dead and wounded is not known but it is certain to number in the thousands, the deadliest terrorist attack ever. The Communist Party USA expresses outrage and profound sorrow at this horrendous assault. We unequivocally condemn terrorism in all its forms. We extend heartfelt sympathy to the families of the victims including the thousands of office workers at both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and those who died in the crashes of the four planes. We mourn the rescue workers, hundreds of whom died in the line of duty, in the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. Amid the carnage and the horror, they displayed uncommon courage and self sacrifice as they struggled to save the wounded and dying.
