What risk? Terrorism? Terrorism is the lowest probability risk to your family, my family, any individual in the US.

I'm not talking about any "individual" family in the US. I'm talking about any person in the United States. We lost 3000 individuals on 9/11. The most incompetent action possible would have been for Bush to react mildly.

Look, you and I disagree about this. I say taking out Iraq is one step in a highly organized plan to minimize the risk of future attacks against the United States. You don't feel the same way I do. So be it. I find Bush's actions to be bold, decisive, and appropriate.

On 9/11, when the long day was over, I asked my wife: "I wonder how long it will take the idiot liberals to forget this? A few months? A year?" I knew, almost instinctively, that the biggest battle in the war against whoever had attacked the United States would NOT be against the perpetrators; rather, it was clear it would be against the liberals -- who would politicize it, those who would immediately give the benefit of the doubt to the killers, and who would not be willing to wage the decades-long war against these people.

Man, did I ever nail that one?
