What's startling is that America itself could be blamed for the WTC attacks because the Bush family told the FBI to go easy on the bin Ladens ... perhaps this tragedy could have been prevented if the FBI were allowed to conduct their business without interference. There was a massive intelligence failure ... I find it hard to believe that the FBI all of a sudden turned stupid ... somebody must have prevented them from doing their job. That will affect the way other countries feel about what happened on September 11. If the blame can be placed directly on America (due to the alleged interference by the Bush family) the world will be less sympathetic than they were before. The coalition is already under threat of falling apart because there appear to be double standards with regard to terrorist activity depending on which part of the world the terrorists are active in i.e. Israel, Kashmir, Chechynia (sp?). America's credibility is at stake if it appears they have been hiding dirt under the rug (i.e. going easy on the bin Ladens because of their connection with the Bush family). Lola:)
