A President in the White House is far safer and better protected than anyone else in the capital or elsewhere in the country. Yet symbolism matters. Having a nation’s leaders sharing in at least some measure in the risks endured by the populace at war communicates solidarity and courage. Leaders can be replaced, but leaders thought cowardly lose the support of their people. And that is why Bush was right to return to DC on the night of 9/11.
I hope you aren’t in the military, knowing that when you start commando/terrorist operations when the president is away at a location that you already know (or don’t), and that the President will always be sent straight to a certain urban address that you already know, is sure an asset, if you want to take him out.
You seem to want to beat some childish point of view against Bush and you sound like a child while doing it.
