let me clarify...I am not saying W has done nothing to keep our country safe. I am saying that, when compared to what all our other presidents have done, I dont think he has accomplished anything extraordinary that would merit special praise. Just because he formed a cabinet position for Homeland Security doesnt mean Al Qaeda was ready to attack us again. Your example of door locks....I can easily say that just because you put locks on your doors doesn't mean that someone was going to break into your house. I do not deny that having locks on your door provides a measure of comfort, though. Kind of like all the gun nuts who have a gun next to their bed to protect their family from a non-existant attacker who, statistically speaking, will never come.

Unfortunately, for some neighborhoods, crime, robbery and assault are common occurrences. |

Bush bombing Iraq probably scared people. Capturing Saddam impressed everyone. Bush wiretapping phones and asking Tom Ridge to head up Homeland Security probably scared nobody.

I guess to buy that argument though you would also have to think the terrorists paid attention to what the state sponsors of terrorists thought. |

The truth is, I am pretty statistically unlikely to die before my kids are out of the house. I think I'm going to go cancel my life insurance.

All the 9/11 attackers were Saudis. We invaded Afghanistan. Then, when we couldn't get Osama, we went into Iraq. When are we going to invade Saudi Arabia? They are probably terrified of us.
