This blame our leaders first crap has GOT to stop.

There is very little that can be done to prevent an attack like this. Unless you want to live in a police state.

Our leaders get blamed for not preventing the attack. Then they try to prevent another attack via things like the Patriot Act and get attacked.

Sometimes things happen, despite our best efforts, and I think you will be better served standing by your fine countryman and law enforcement leaders.

I have a Democrat friend, who is going to Europe shortly. I don't even want to talk to her! She will blame Bush for this, and I'm NOT in the mood to hear it.

Even a quasi police state like the USSR/Russia cannot prevent attacks from Chechen terrorists.
