Therein lies the difference between the Repubs and Dems: So a decision had to be made: Act against a potential threat (with more than a dozen additional reasons to carry out the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998) or cross our fingers and hope for the best – the prevailing U.S. policy toward terrorist threats pre-9.11. The previous Adm had ignored all signs for their 8 years, and even years before that. After 9-11, eventually everyone in the country had an indication that this was serious, and the Repubs took it as a serious threat. The Dems, from the sounds of things, would continue ignoring the situation, and let us be hit again. Past performance indicates future behavior generally.
