Bubblehead, I stand by my assessment of Franklin Roosevelt. You may not like him, but his mark on American governance is indelible.

I love how people blame everyone except the DIRECT assailant. go ahead and blame clinton for 9/11 and not the actual terrorists. You can argue "Well if clinton had been more aware (or BUSH mind you, who was in office for a full year by then) that we couldve prevented it" well guess what if the terrorists hadnt attacked, there wouldnt be 9/11. 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.
