Al,

re: ‘People were more obsessed with developing the coalition to overthrow Saddam than to execute the president’s policy of pre-emption against terrorists.’

Taken with the following statement, it's much what we have been arguing all along. Bush used 9/11 to overthrow an old family nemasis, which also happened to coincide with the neocon world dominance strategy. He discounted the cost in lives and budget deficits.

"Bush arguably has committed the greatest strategic blunder in modern memory. To put it bluntly, he attacked the wrong target.

I wonder... If 9/11 hadn't happened, Bush might not have been a bad President. Who knows, just speculation. But 9/11 gave him the power/capability to be the disaster he has become.

What would the country be like right now if 9/11 had somehow been stopped? And how did we allow several horrid hours in our history to change us so much?
