Reply #29: How many 9/11-style attacks have we foiled? I haven't heard of one...

[Youphemism]

We haven't been struck by any giant meteorites, either. Is that because of our great missile defense system, or because they haven't landed?

How many people feel safer flying now, because they make us take our shoes off and don't let us carry on water?

You could make the argument that we've kept terrorists busy in Iraq, but then you have to answer how many more have we incited by being there? How many are still lurking because we took our eye off the ball?

Is one 9/11-size attack every ten years acceptable? Because our current policy abroad will ensure a fresh supply of people willing to come here and kill us.

Kudos to our military for keeping them at bay... And maybe the feds have actually gotten better. But that has more to do with all the money congress appropriated for them than any special Bush anti-terrorism training seminars.

What part of our safety do you directly attribute to Bush?
