how can anybody claim that we are now safer than we were before 9/11? are they completely out of their collective minds? the fact that we're more aware of terrorists who are more determined now than ever to strike us again shouldn't be an excuse for george to claim that he's making us safer.

because of him, is why the terrorists want to hurt us. that was true before 9/11, and that's true today. i'm not saying that we get rid of george that we will be immune to a terrorist attack... but our chances sure dive in a heartbeat.

why? because we'll have the real international cooperation that we need to defeat terrorism. and actually, staying true to my rule that terrorism isn't something you can bomb to win, you have to use education to win. and to use education, requires intelligent people doing intelligent things. and we all know intelligence and the bushies are about as foreign to each other as martians are to humans.
