The questions that will define the Clinton years are being formed. Is it really "why hadn't we done more", rather than "why didn't we do anything?" A few of the many questions to come:

How could Osama bin Laden and his band of murderous zealots have caught this nation so off guard? And, given bin Laden's past history of attacks against the United States, why hadn't we done more to destroy Al Qaeda?

It's real easy to spread blame. If the sins of Clinton were so heneous, why weren't these problems job one for Pres. W? If our nation was so bare and succesptible to attack, how can a president take a one month vacation in his first seven months in office (was there really time for a one month hiatus- during which Osmam Bin Laden spoke of an imminent attack that was published in the London Times).
Lots on blame to go around- begin with Reagan's defeat in Lebanon and secret payments to Iranian terrorists, followed by Bush I's failure to follow through against Baghdad and then the giant flops of Clinton. Like I said this is a long story of failure involving problems on both sides of the aisle. Focusing on just a few players for the sake of partisanship does nothing to solve the problem and gives support to those whose failures were partially responsible.
