PC, it wasn't a matter of overreacting to 9/11. I can forgive that to a degree. Elements of the administration used 9/11 as an excuse to pursue a non-9/11 related foreign policy/agenda that ultimately is leading us towards another 9/11 type of attack instead away from one (considering that global terrorism is up as a direct result of the invasion of Iraq). And I can't help but wonder if Bush might welcome an attack. After 9/11, Bush's dropping approval rating and popularity suddenly soared above the clouds. He was given free reigns of the country and allowed to do whatever in the name of security. It's a horrible, circular possibility of events (read: strategy).
