Bravo. Oh, God. Bravo. Excellent. What else can be said?

Bush would have done something. And he would have been criticized by the ACLU for violating peoples rights by creating long lines at airports. The RAT Senate would have gone ballistic and the NYSlimes would have written an editorial.

Newsweek, Time and the other liberal rags would have had Bush's picture on the cover with the headline, "FACIST?" Network news would have ended all regular coverage to bring this to the American people. There would be a congressional investigation into what Bush did to prevent the attacks.

Nations around the world would condemn our foreign policies and demand that we change our leadership to become more inline with the UN.

So instead, you have eight years of Clinto that did nothing and what happens? See above.

Well, to look at it another way, and I'm sure to take a few body blows for suggesting this, but here goes anyway.

Our government has told us that we have averted terrorist attacks since 911 because of the high level of attention the terrorists are getting.

It stands to reason that some of the averted attacks were beyond the planning stage and into the operational stage.

Therefore, it also stands to reason that 911 could have been averted with the same amount of attention before those attacks that we now are giving the terrorists.

Logic, like hindsight, seems to be 20/20. If only we'd known that we needed to pay that much attention to them, eh?
