It seems evident that Sarah Palin has no regard for the Intelligence of Americans. According to an article in The Washington Post, Sarah Palin recycled the tired and mythical “connection” between 9/11 and Iraq, an idea that most informed citizens have long-since dismissed as fantasy.

From the Article:

“Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would “defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.”

So, Sarah Palin is assuming that Americans are still so wrapped up in “9/11″ emotion that we’ll conveniently forget the lessons we’ve spent the last 7 years sacrificing our troops to learn.

Worse than assuming that Americans are stupid is repeating the 9/11 myth to her own, Iraqi-bound son. This makes Sarah Palin a heartless mother, because no mother with respect for their childrens’ safety or intelligence would so willingly sacrifice them on the basis of a myth.

If Sarah Palin isn’t this cruel, then the alternative is that she’s oblivious to her own son’s well-being. If she lacks the judgment to care for her children, should we really trust her to care for ours?
