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.

Okay, so bush never should've went after al-queida since that only endangered people's lives. I can see what you mean with the WAR ON IRAQ....but the war on terror is a little different. Why do you think they are the same...you do know that afghanistan was a productive part of the war on terror right?? I know that terrorism didn't start with 9/11, but do you really think that terrorism in those other countries started with the war on iraq??

i don't remember saying anything about iraq. I know that everyone considers the war on terror and the war on iraq to be the same, but I don't. To me the war on iraq and against saddam is a different thing. I know they didn't have much if anything to do with 9/11. I know it's bush's own agenda. I don't even really consider it part of the "war on terrorism". But when you say the entire war on terrorism has been a failure and only making things worse, all you're doing is forgetting about afghanistan. If you want to say that that was a failure too, then I think you are one of those eager to see the US fail.
