The American people are very bright and very realistic. They understand and expect another "terrorist shoe" to drop in the United States someday. That's the reality we all live with after Sept. 11.
That said, many Americans still believe that Mr. Bush will be the right person to have in the White House should that occur. Many American voters simply don't believe that any of the Democrats running right now would confront or hit back at terrorists as hard as Mr. Bush would.
The recent terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia and Morocco have the nine Democrats candidates and many liberals in the media charging that Mr. Bush's war on terrorism is a "failure." A little honesty and objectivity by those Democrats and those in the media would be appreciated by the American people.
As tragic as those attacks were, there are three things to remember: They were against lightly protected or unprotected "soft" targets, they were not in the United States (as there have been no terrorist attacks in the United States since 9/11), and they could have happened almost anywhere in the world at any time.
