We were attacked - again (two embassy bombings in 1998, World Trade Center 1993, Dhahran Saudi Arabia 1996, USS Cole 2000) - because we had a very weak President who refused to walk the line as George W. Bush has done.

We have many more allies now than we had in 2001. While the media would like us to believe that we're reviled, it's patently false.
Furthermore, when people decide to leave their countries - for whatever reason; be it persecution, a better life or anything else - they come the United States of America. Common sense - something lacking in statements like
"Now, our policies have changed because of GW, and more of the world hates us than ever before" and other statements by the PlayDoh brain trust - dictates that people don't move to the country they hate.
Duh.

GWs policies are making it a lot tougher for the guys standing watch to do their job, and we are losing a lot of what makes this country great in the process.

We haven't been attacked here because of George W. Bush, his policies, and the departments he has empowered through excellent work as the President of the United States.
I'm sure that there are nut jobs out there that believe that enforcing policies and creating departments to manage them is 'losing a lot of what makes this country great' ... but that's talking from the wrong end of the horse.
George W. Bush will be remembered as a great president, and a great man. Not by the liberals ... but who cares what them lying sacks of sh!t say anyway?
Your pal,
