It has always been my opinion that the Clinton/Clark policy of tolerance towards terrorism and their non-engagement of terrorists like bin Ladin was perceived to be a policy of complaisance encouraging increasingly bolder aggression that finally culminated with the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

They watched the destruction our embassy and shuffled their feet.
They watched the destruction of the USS Cole and shuffled their feet.

If Gore had won the election he would have watched the 9/11 attacks and shuffled his feet.

Thankfully Bush had the nads to take decisive action and with the continued backing by the major world powers we might just weaken the perpetrators of terrorism to a degree of impotence that more and more people like Omar Gadaffi realize the futility of such barbaric acts and embrace civilization.

And Thanks Papaslap…
For speaking out against those who patronize the media blather whereby national traitors are spun as unsung heroes. It takes a strong stomach to read some of the liberal press.
