I never said that it was an either-or option. It is a question of primary focus. Until terrorists havens are eliminated, focusing on law enforcement and intelligence is one of re-action, instead of pro-action. To coin a phrase, it is swatting at flies. Th You might want to think about who looks dumb here. Here you have plain evidence that that the approach Clinton took, one of primarily law enforcement (and one presumes intelligence), did not work, for it let the man responsible for 9/11, the Cole, the Embassy bombings et al get away. And your comparisons of body counts would be silly, if the subject were not so serious. The Bush policy, prior to 9/11 was almost identical, although they were in the process of making it one of elimination of Al Qaeda v. rollback. I could also compare the number of al Qaeda attacks against American interests, but that would be dumb too. So now, Kerry is proposing to go back to the policy that was pre-9/11. That is the dumbest thing yet.
