A simple and telling question: Do you think there are more or less "terrorists" in the world today than there were a year ago? Despite the $Billions spent and the lives lost, what's the RESULT of the Bush policy? A safer or more dangerous world? There may be more terrorists in the world today than a year ago. However, that metric gives misleading results. I think everyone believed we might go through a time where the war in Iraq would create more anti-Americanism. It is the outcome that matters. And we're not there yet. The progress in Iraq is slow but steady and that is all that is required. When Iraq is secure and we begin to clear out those terrorists will either be dead or no longer motivated to act against us. You really can't argue with success, and Bush has been successful in preventing a subsequent attack. Nobody else can take credit for it. On 9/12/01, nobody believed we could get two years down the road without another attack, and we have. That's what matters to me and I think, to most Americans.

John, without seeing his answer, I am sure DR thinks there are less terrorists and the world is a lot safer. He believes all these 'problems' we see on the media are media generated and colored in order to persuade us that things are bad and Bush is a screw up. Of course, he and Harris know the truth and are trying desperately to share it with us! ted
