<terrorism thrives and multiplies if Bush stays> .....

.......... It already has multiplied under Bush.

Terrorism was a world-wide problem before 9/11. The Twin Towers' attack was a horrible event. It merited an attack of some sort in Afghanistan, the routing of the Taliban, and serious attempts to capture bin Laden.

But this misadventure into Iraq has been insane, has created a terrorist hornets nest there, and gravely multiplied terrorism.

Look at the scale of the terrorist attacks in Russia of late. It seems to be fairly clear that some people from Arab countries were involved.

The blame for the rise in terrorism over the past couple years is very vague. But, I'll tell you, I don't think Bush has made us safer.

No, Bush likes to privatize the military and everything else to give the corps who contribute to him big profits at tax-payer expense. That's why we have 2000 Halliburton truckdrivers getting paid $150,000 a year and abandoning their expensive Mercedes trucks at our expense at the first sign of trouble. WRONG!

You are wrong on the terrorism. I see what GHW's policies are doing personally living in the ME and he has these boys on the run. Yes they are striking out but their influence is becoming more limited by the day. THe mindset of the average person is changing which will bring about better days in the future.
