re: I don't know what Bush would have done if he had been president in 1998. But I do believe that he would at least have attempted to do something, and not just analysed the problem to death.

I don't know either. But given his current inability to catch bin Laden, 34 months after 9/11, you can probably project that he would have been any more successful then.

Why would you think that? Prior to 9/11 Bush showed, if anything, less interest in the terrorism threat than Clinton, and in '98 the Republicans seemed more concerned with the "China threat" than with terror.
