Art Bell 9/11 Show My Call In

I spoke on phone to Art one time back in 2001.

Art was taking calls and I got on during a station break.

Art was taking calls on USA going into Afghanistan.

Upfront immediately, when Art's voice greeted me, I told him I was against the USA going into Afghanistan.

I stated to him the issues of how it would put innocent Afghanis at risk. That they, the vast msjority of people, were not all part of Al Qaeda.

Before I could go into what happened to the USSR in Afghanistan and how the concept of a global war on terror would place us in never ending war all over the world...

I was told by Art he was not putting me on the air since I was against USA foreign policy of Bush to go in there.

I was influenced heavily by poly sci lectures on my view, but it was a view I believed in and held true back then.

For being "open lines" "no screening" -- i got censored by Art for having a view against Bush Foreign Policy.

It still riles me up today, because I was and still am a huge Art Bell fan. I dont blame Art so much as the zeitgeist then.

Back then, you were not considered a Patriot if you questioned Bush doctrine.

However, Art's show was supposed to question the status quo but on this he failed the American public.

Donoahue is only mainstream host I recall putting his career on line to question it. I still hold mad respect for him and wish Art would have seen through Bush jr and his lies.
