'You people' know this already, correct? The fact that ...
...the 'sleazebag' whom you blame as 'responsible' for 'current terrorism' did some 'good things' -- in the 'Dubya PC' vernacular -g- -- 'way back in the early '90s?

Since 1993, we have tripled funding for FBI anti-terrorist efforts. Our agents and
prosecutors, with
excellent support from our intelligence agencies, have done extraordinary work in
tracking down
perpetrators of terrorist acts and bringing them to justice. And as our air strikes
against Afghanistan --
or against the terrorist camps in Afghanistan -- last summer showed, we are
prepared to use military
force against terrorists who harm our citizens. But all of you know the fight against
terrorism is far from
over. And now, terrorists seek new tools of destruction.
Last May, at the Naval Academy commencement, I said terrorist and outlaw states
are extending the
world's fields of battle, from physical space to cyberspace, from our earth's vast
bodies of water to the
complex workings of our own human bodies. The enemies of peace realize they
cannot defeat us with
traditional military means. So they are working on two new forms of assault, which
you've heard about
today: cyber attacks on our critical computer systems, and attacks with weapons
of mass destruction --
chemical, biological, potentially even nuclear weapons. We must be ready -- ready
if our adversaries try
to use computers to disable power grids, banking, communications and
transportation networks, police,
fire and health services -- or military assets.
