Seriously...do you think 9/11 was their one shot for the century and since they got that one off they're done?? I really don't see how the war on terrorism has endangered your, or anyone elses (excluding the army, etc.) life.

Why do you only equate "doing a damn thing" with invading other countries? There are plenty of other things he could've done that would actually have made a difference. Invading Iraq under false pretences was not one of them.
Anti-American sentiment and terrorism didn't start with 9/11. Maybe Bush had better look at the reasons behind the attacks. Then he might have a better idea as to how to combat the problem.
You don't see how this supposed "war on terror" has endangered people's lives? Take a look at what happened in Khobar yesterday and tell me that again. Look at Spain, at Bali, at Riyadh, Yanbu and Jeddah. His reckless invasion of Iraq has made the citizens of every country he dragged into this sorry mess a target.
ARTelevision, why is it misplaced to blame the president for making the West a terror target? It's his misguided foreign policy and constant meddling in the internal affairs of others that has led to this. He is completely and absolutely responsible for it.
