Blame the terrorists. Could there have been more security? yes. Was there any reason at the time to even THINK that something like that would happen on a random day in september? no.I dont know of ANY other case besides 9/11 where they hijack a plane and crash it into buildings. At least not on that scale. Why would they suspect that it would happen? They wouldve been alot more alert to suddam hussain Gasing us, but not 9/11.

Strawman. No one has absolved Al Qaeda of the attacks. However, it is the duty of my government, it's security agencies and it's military, of whom the president is Commander in Chief, to think of the unthinkable and to prevent it from happening. The fact that the WTC was the target of a similar attack in 1993, however, provides more than a few clues as to the intention of the terrorists. If that is not enough for suspicion, then I do not know what would be.

seems you took that the wrong way. it may have been strongly worded, sure, but not an attack.

My apology then. We've had more than one 'President' thread turn into a major batlle over the civil war, and it usually started with someone 'explaining' why Lincoln was really the cause of all the country's woes. I agree he was an extreme politician and knew how to manipulate people to get what he wanted, but I also feel that what he wanted was for the best. This might give you some insight as to why I reacted the way I did.
