I understand your assertion that this thing has a history, and that Iraq invaded Kuwait. True. And yes, GW is going to get some blame for the next terrorist attack. I personally have the strong opinion that he has done virtually everything in his power to attract the hatred of the ultra-conservative Muslims in the ME, and that he has dropped the ball in what I would consider the real fight against terrorism, both on a Military Intelligence and covert action basis, as well as in humanitarian and public image basis. I know opinions vary on this and I respect folks who believe that Dubya's efforts to bring democracy to Iraq, or rid them of WMD, or whatever is the excuse du jour, are appropriate. I just do not share those beliefs. Again, I would have preferred that he intensify intelligence and military actions against one of the real enemies, Al Queda. And I wish he were focusing on the other real enemy, which I believe is "perception" and economics/politics. It looks to me like he has completely missed both those targets. And I think the price we will pay for that is an even further eroded position against terrorists. I think we are WAY worse off than we were in September, 2001. And I think we're going to see more attacks. And we're not going to be looking with any degree of sophistication when it happens.
