OK. So in the world according to John, we as Americans should allow ourselves and our sons to suffer because of the sins of past Presidents. We should humbly acknowledge that we have made mistakes in the Middle East in the past and tell Osama, "We're sorry! Please don't worry about 9/11. We deserve it. We'll just sit back here in our country and if you feel the need to get more revenge. You just go right ahead." Your world sucks, John. It's nice that people like you can sit at home getting your social security check that I am paying for and spout naive absurdities. However, the rest of us want to ensure that these murderers don't get a second chance to attack us. If that means we have to go after them with our military at great cost, then so be it. I'd rather be alive and broke, than dead and rich.

>>> Are our current actions increasing or decreasing the chances we'll be attacked again? Increasing. Can you provide any evidence that this statement is correct? >>> Why were we attacked on 9/11? Was it because we "let the world live their lives as they please"? No. Was it because we didn't? No. >>> And why is bin Laden, the ONLY one who attacked us, twice, still at large? It is unfortunate. But the answer is that Clinton did not act on it when he had the chance. He had multiple opportunities to capture bin Laden and either failed or refused to do so. There is little doubt that Bush will seize any opportunity to do so.
