This is probably your best point, but it also comes under radically different circumstances. No, it doesn't. Sorry. I was un aware of terrorists attacks killing thousands of people in the US that happened under previous administrations... That's not the only thing that is new. The level of proliferation of nuclear bacterioligcal and chemical weapons, as well as balistic missile technology and other types of dangerous weapons or weapons technology is much greater now. And the level of fanatic international terrorism has been going up for years. re: They are not much more or less marginalized then they where before. Yes, they are. No. re: Poor fiscal discipline is nothing new let alone radically different. Record deficits = radically different No they don't. Quite a few administrations in the past have set new records for budget deficits. re: The opinions of other people are not the actions or policies of Bush. If we assume that this has indeed happen it still wouldn't be an answer to the question. It's a response to his radical policies. I know that's an intellectual leap for you. It can be considered a response to his policies but it is not an example of his policies. The reaction of third parties is not an example of a radical policy or idea pushed by Bush. re: 1 - Not an answer to the question. Yes it is, a radical departure for a President NOT TO get revenge. If that was so then other predidents such as Clinton who did not respond with any decisiveness to earlier attacks would be radicals, but Bush who did respond strongly and killed or captured thousands of terrorists would not have made a radical departure. 2 - Not true, there has been plenty of revenge. Not against the perp. The direct perps all died in the attack. Many of those most directly supporting the attack have been arrested or detained. The "perp" is Al Qaeda not bin Laden by himself. Many of the top leaders have been killed or captured as have thousands of the rank and file have been captured or killed. Even if 9/11 was the responsibility of bin Laden alone failing to capture him would be a failure not a radical policy, and it would not be all that unusual of a failure. Even failing to attempt to capture or kill him wouldn't be properly discribed as radical, it would be weak and otherwise a thing but would not properly be described as radical. Get the perps when we had them cornered and concentrated in Tora Bora. Of course. Democrats would plan an execute any attack without mistake, or flaw or less then perfect results... And also many more than previous President have gotten us into, with much less at the end. I would say then end would be far more important. In any case being different then the one previous president does not make this president radical. re: 1 - Nothing new or radically different. Bull sh-t. This guy sows fear for political gain every day. He want's to stay in office... he doesn't care about the American people. It's despicable. Your statement is the real BS. Also off the original topic but if this fear that Bush is supposedly spreading for political gain would help Bush its a sign that the country thinks Kerry would be weak in response to terrorism. Tim
