DR,

re: which was that it may be necessary to make the world more dangerous for a little while... your mind should tell you that we are actually already safer than we were before.

Which is it, you are contradicting yourself.

re: We haven't had another attack in America (even though just about everyone thought we were at further risk

I didn't... see this post from 3 days after 9/11: Message 16349898

re: It is intuitively obvious that we are safer here than before. If you want to argue this point I will, but I'm assuming you realize you can't make a case.

Well the only two terrorist attacks were 7 years apart, so if you want to use an "intuitive" argument that we are safer than before 9/11, we are not due until '08.

Explain two things to me:

1. How has Bush's failure to get bin Laden made us safer? He and his organization are responsible for 90% of the worldwide terrorist attacks. His and his organizations survival, pushing 3 years after 9/11, is the reason we still have a very significant, and growing, terrorist threat. It's a huge Bush failure; al Qaeda is winning the "war on terror", even after the horror of 9/11.

2. How has the war in Iraq reduced the threat of terror in the US, as you claim. Be specific, please.

And some advice. Cut the liberal, leftest insult bull crap. It doesn't hurt me and it makes you look like a idiot.

John
