If you are worried about Islamic fundamentalism, then removing Saddam may have been unwise, since he was not an Islamic fundamentalist. I'm glad you see a positive finish for US security, but I've no idea how you get there, since the US intelligence services generally report much greater anti-American activities in the region.

But it's nice to know you're positive on the issue. I certainly hope you turn out to be correct. I think it's unlikely, but it would be nice if you were.

I've no idea how Clinton turns out to be responsible for 9/11, any more than Bush is. Terrorists happen- no matter who is in charge. Remember the marines in Beirut? Are we going to blame that one on Reagan? Seems to me you're going to have to. I guess that was Reagan out of his league. And of course daddy Bush neglected to take out Saddam- and that led to some problems, so that was HIM out of his league. And then there's Nixon- :-) I think that man was not only out of his league but occasionally out of his mind.
