Regarding your assertion that Clinton is being criticized unfairly because the first World Trade Center bombing was one month after his inauguration, nobody is blaming Clinton FOR the bombing happening. Instead, Clinton is criticized for not retaliating for the 1993 bombing. On the other hand, Bush retaliated (and that's an understatement!) after the first terrorist attack of his presidency.

Bingo. THAT is the the point. By NOT retaliating, Clinton set us up for ever greater escalation by these emboldened psychopaths. And his administration has 8 long years of track record of not retaliating EFFECTIVELY - which this movie points out to those who have forgotten or didn't pay attention. And this is not conjecture- Bin Laden discussed on his released tapes how our fleeing from Somalia proved we were an enemy he could defeat.

Hence the title of this mini-series- "THE PATH TO 9-11"
.
BTW, it is telling that the 1993 attack on the WTC was called an unprecedented terrorist attack on American soil. Yet recall, Bill Clinton never even visited the scene of the 1993 WTC attack. Too few victims for a good photo op? Too much head in the sand? And yet the 1993 WTC attack was the real first shot of the war we are currently in. The one the democrats blame on George Bush and his adminstration.

I doubt this movie will cover the fact that a NY court found FOR the defendants who filed suit against IRAQ for supporting and funding the 1993 WTC attack.
