Al,

I will yield to your unbiased opinion.

I never claimed my opinions were unbiased. I was just hoping that you would follow through with the premise of:

... And will America appreciate the consequence of such policies only when inevitably they lead to the recruitment of terror and additional terrorist acts perpetrated on American soil and people?

If you are saying that some consequences (9/11) are not the direct result of actions of the US (Clinton), than it undermines your "Blame America for everything" argument.

Let's go through the permutations:
no action = no consequences: We can forget this one
no action = some consequences: Discussed above. If this is possible, your Blame America First argument falls apart, because the Blame America First crowd "knows" that America is to blame for everything negative.
some action = no consequences: A direct repudiation of your statement
some action = some consequences: Then some of Clinton is to blame for 9/11.

The reason I am curious about this is because I hear a lot of arguments from Dems revolving around this theme.

Joe
