Oh please. Plenty of folks predicted an attack on our soil long before 9/11. For over 30 years this country had a head-in-the-sand mentality against terrorist threats, and unfortunately it took 9/11 to wake us out of it. Sure Clinton did all he could do to set us up for 9/11, but those before him - Reagan, Bush, Carter, were just as culpable. Ask yourself what retaliation was taken after the attacks on our people in Beirut, or after Lockerbie, or after numerous other attacks over the last thirty years. I proudly applaud the actions our President has taken since 9/11, but that doesn't excuse him, and all who came before him, for their mistakes prior to that fateful day.
