Clinton and Bush were both asleep at the wheel pre 9/11. Both presidencies at that point should be put in context. An occasional blast from al quaeda was tolerated by clinton and the bush team forgot all about the lessons of those attacks. Both much like FDR et al asleep at the Pearl Harbor wheel. US is such a hedonistic, materialistic society that nothing gets in the the way of good times, barring a 9/11 like wake up call.
