Our prayers and deepest sympathy have gone out to the families and victims of the second day that will live in infamy, Tuesday September 11, 2001. Decent people everywhere are troubled and angered by the horrific acts perpetrated upon innocent American civilians. Rightfully, we have come together as a nation to fight the great scourge of terrorism. We have, for the time being, put aside our differences, in order to properly coalesce around our President and fighting men. This is a good thing. However, it is imperative that we search ourselves to see how this event occurred, and what we can do to prevent or greatly reduce future occurrences.
Americas national security begins with our Commander In Chief. Thank God we have a decent man in that position now in President Bush. But what of the man who held this position previous -- Bill Clinton? Can we in any way lay the blame for the recent terrorist attacks on his shoulders, and is it even appropriate to talk about blame at this point in time? I believe the answer is yes to both questions, and I will explain why.
It is appropriate to talk about culpability at this time, and in regards to Bill Clinton, because: A. Bill Clinton is not the current President, and therefore there is no burning need to rally around him; B. Bill Clinton is guilty of helping to create the climate that led to the terror (so it is important to close all the loopholes opened by him); and C. Bill Clinton has made himself available to the media, attempting to change history and deny any culpability for the rise of terrorism and the September 11 attacks.

I hope Jesse Peterson can get his message out to more black people in America. Too many listen to Jesse Jackson's every word like it's gospel.

As much as I would like to blame everything on that man, I cannot. Laden always hated America, and started acting in the Gulf started by Bush Sr. What Clinton failed to do is to stop Laden and end his reign of terror. Time will tell how well Bush Jr. will do, but I think he is going about this very smartly.

Bill Clinton was just an over educated hillbilly with little or no responsibility, and ZERO "class". He had an uncanny ability to "hustle". When he was on top, his power was absolute and ruthless, i.e. Governor of Arkansas. He was a big kid that liked to play with toys. He was immature and emotionless, caring only about himself in all situations. The more toys you gave this man, the more power you gave this man, the more he would abuse it for his own ends, and his own gratification. He was always a "bully" waiting for a place to happen. His place in history is a great example. He tried so hard to make a "legacy" for his Presidency in the last 200 days of it! Eight years in the "sand box" and you can't come up with one decent contribution to the People the gave you that job!
Look what he did. He acted like Capone when in office. He intimidated, lied, bribed, broke the law of the land. If he was Capone we could forgive, it's the way a gangster is supposed to operate, but he wasn't. He was the President of the United States. He sold our technology for money to keep him in power. He, I think, commited treason to feed his own self importance, his own self engrandizement. Bill Clinton cares, only, about Bill Clinton. He is the perfect self absorbed human being (why do you think Hollywood likes him so?).
The stories about him walking around the White House, in the last days, in a daze and exausted. Those are the tales of a metally sick man. All Presidents, including Nixon, really welcomed the lift of that responsibility from them, and the opportunity to just be a normal citizen. Not Clinton, he wanted the job forever. That's not the way our system works. Thank God!
As much as Bill Clinton destroyed the fabric of this country by just being stupid, and uncaring, there is a much more insidious threat. The woman behind him!
As he was idiot, and a bumbler, she was the shining glory of the communist movement. She couldn't stand him. She thought he was a "useful idiot" (the words of Stalin). Now we know, she was right. We also know that this woman is a United States Senator. This is starting to be a "re-write" of "THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE".
The problem for Hillary is the Attack on America. She hates the Constitution, she hates the People. Her law makes us subserviant to the rule of her. That's not right, nor will it ever be right. Our war will stop the enemy from killing us, but it will also bring back this wonderful document that governs our country. The Constitution of these here United States, and the People that own that, will never give it up, nor will we ever copitulate, or lay down, or give up. Today is our day of glory. The cowards should sit down and shut up. It's time for the patriots to save their ass.....one more time!

Bill Clinton may not be President right now but Hillary is a U.S. Senator, and unlike HER co-Presidency, she can now be held totally accoutable for her actions.

I started to study Islam several years ago, because I wanted to know just why anyone would believe in it. I was taught Islam, read the quran and the hadiths, and became aquainted with people in Islamic groups. I was told several years ago that Islamics believed that they could take the USA over for Islam was a fast growing religion. I scoffed at that, for I thought no one in the USA would want us to become a backward nation. Little by little, I learned of the aspirations of Muslims, and I learned that one in this country with a student visa was saying that he was willing to attack the American military for Osama binLaden. So I began to see how serious things were getting, and I saw immigration just pushing the doors wide open for those who would seek to overthrow America. I am just one little American, and why could I see what was happening, while our own government was endangering us all? Why? We have no other country to go to. We stand helpless when our government fails us and does not fully understand the danger that comes from within. This is from a mosque in Germany :HAMBURG, Germany (AP) - Some 200 worshippers listened raptly as the imam at al-Quds mosque delivered a fiery 45-minute sermon on the sins of the infidels and the arrogance of the West. ``God, we implore You to destroy the United States of America,'' shouted the imam in a sermon Friday. Not a soul flinched. The congregation recited in unison, ``Amen.'' Mosques around the world are teaching like this, and suspect some will find this hard to believe. Muslims who are not supporting terrorism are not really distancing this from terrorism. They offer some excuses and seek to put the blame on others. We do not do just what they want us to do, and this give them the allah-given right to kill us. God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her, with a light from above.

Excellent article. Thank you for posting this. While the terrorists themselves were responsible for their act, it is important to look at the events leading to the attack to discover why we were so vulnerable..
I had forgotten about Hillary's "American Museum "contribution!
