My only response to that is that 9/11 changed the little world we enjoyed in the US. Man.....almost 3 years removed and I'd have to say damn few of us are over that event. For some reason you defend Bush's decisions in light of 9-11, but you discount Kerry's positions after 9-11 as unreasonable. Certainly 9-11 affected all Americans, and for that matter the world. In fact the bombings in Madrid have affected me in a similar manner. That bombing underlines the mistake that Bush made going into Iraq, instead of the all out effort that was needed to quash Al Qaeda and get bin Laden in Afghanistan. There was a unanimous vote to get that job done, and support from around the world...yet we fell short of that goal...and went to Iraq instead. I rather doubt that the Madrid bombing would have taken place had Al Qaeda been thoroughly wiped out, and bin Laden captured or killed. Going to Iraq did not make the world safer against terror...in fact it has made the world less safe against terror. Orca
