>>The need to respond and the effectiveness of the response fell rightfully on the Bush Administration. I don't have a problem criticising operations from that perspective, but making comparisons with what Dem Admins did or would have done seems kind of NA.<< RCG - The Republicans have made a point, if not most of their campaign strategy, out of comparing the Republican and Democratic responses to terrorism. Cheney went so far as to say outright, before the 2004 election, that "if we make the wrong choice there's a chance that we will be hit again. I find that conservatives only start saying there's no point in making these comparisons when someone confronts them with the facts. Personally, I find the Bush administration's ham handed handling of events post 9/11 appalling. Basically, leaving Afghanistan in the lurch while attacking a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 (according to Bush himself) has motivated a whole new generation of terrorists. The idea that nobody could have done any better is ludicrous. Certainly another administration could have handled things differently, and not squandered all the good will the U.S. had even in the Muslim world in the months after 9/11. - Allen
