While I blame Clinton for ignoring the issue in order to prevent any boat rocking, I blame Carter for not dealing with Iran when we had both the moral and stratigic reasons to do so, and Reagan for cutting and running in Lebanon. Carter's mistake was the worst of the lot, but as much as it pains me, Reagan's retreat showed them the way. I do give both Carter and Reagan some benifit though, they both had to deal with the cold war, and a few nutjobs in the mideast must have seemed like a small worry.

As for 'loving' 9/11 you may wish to use a different choise of words. I'm damn glad that Bush was president and not Gore at 9/11, we didn't need harsh words and vassilation, but don't lump me or most conservatives with the 'agenda above country' mentality which has infected so much of the left as of late. I would have far rather have had 9/11 not happen (or any later event), as while it justified a world view, I'd have rather not have had reason for the world view. I'd far rather be arguing taxes, welfare, education, and rationed health care...er I mean socialized medicine, than terrorists, nuclear weapons in the hands of extremist terrorist supporting governments, and US military conduct and casualities.
