I don't think you can blame Sept 11th on him; I think it was a failure of the intelligence services.

It is a bit naive to believe a successful terrorist act would not have reached American shores. The WTC was attacked once before. Had the previous attack been successful it would have been viewed differently by the public.

However our security agencies and those responsible for them should have taken notice and action. Was airport security beefed up significantly?

Also terrorism is not random violence as most would have you believe. The US was attacked because of its foreign policy. The Bush policy in the middle east was a shift to the right. He should have realized there are consequences to his actions...he often speaks of responsibility for actions.

He provoked those with hate towards the US and did nothing to prepare for the consequences. He should have anticipated a terrorist attack.

It makes no difference that he did not know the specifics of the attack. He doesn't know the specifics of any attacks now and yet he is taking action. So logic says he should have taken action before Sep 11.
