Of course, it's a lot easier to criticize Bush for what he did wrong than it is to propose alternatives that in reality are just as undesirable, if not more so.

The main proposal from all the moderates and left is to disengague from the quagmire in Iraq as quickly as possible and focus on Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. That is very desirable and doable. Bush deserves every bit of criticism and more for the foolish way he let Cheney,Rumsfeld, and Rove lead him to make thier personal goals and profits into the country's policy.

>Al Qaeda is the only group who used the tactic of terror that is a direct threat to the United States.

Actually, it's against the religious policies of nearly all of the other groups (Hizbollah, Hamas, et al) to attack on land that they haven't determined to be "occupied" Islamic land (dar al Islam, I believe is the term). Al-Qaida's the exception. This jibes well with the patterns in reality.

TP, Al Qaeda is the only group who uses the tactic of terror that is a direct threat to the United States.

Correction: Al Qaeda is the only group who used the tactic of terror that is a direct threat to the United States.


No, that's not correct. And I might add that Bush uses that direct threat to further his own ambitions.
