bin laden's attacks on the US went as planned, and our response was part of his plan. he just got the added bonus of the occupation in iraq to use as a recruitment point and training ground for his fu@kin' terrorists.
When an enemy attacks, and you do nothing, they will continue the attacks. If we had responded to the Japs' sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by not going after them they, and their allies, might have won WW II. I disagree with some of the policies, tactics, and strategies of the Bush administration, but least he's doing something. Had we not, there probably would have been more attacks on American soil by now. I know that Clinton would have responded militarily to 9/11, but I wonder how effective his administration would have been, in the subsequent war on terror (that is, if he even declared one), as compared to Bush's efforts.

P.S. I voted for Clinton for his first term, didn't vote in the next election, and G.W. Bush in both of his. I didn't like Gore, and I now refuse to vote for people that are in favor of, or refuse to admit disagreement with, government and private affirmative action job polices based on race. Clinton and Kerry are examples of politicians I would not vote for based on, among other things, this unjust and unfair system. Iā??m sorry I voted for Clinton. Anybody stupid enough to get caught messing with that Monica pig should not be president. He also did not do enough about terrorist, and military, attacks against U.S. interests, which may have helped set the stage for 9/11.
