I'm just waiting for someone to blame Bush for the approx. 450 deaths in Russia the past 2 weeks. (about half of them children)
This proves absolutely to me that these terrorists, in this case Muslims do NOT CARE who they kill. I am also starting to strongly believe that the Iraq war has SLOWED down terrorist attacks, regardless of whether the invasion strictly for WMD's was mistaken.
Terrorist attacks had slowly been building to WTC levels. If the USA under Clinton had shown more resolve, say after the USS Cole maybe the WTC's would still be standing. (Cole was on Clinton's watch right?)
Terrorists have an agenda and they are not suddenly going to stop, just because Kerry is in Charge.

Not blaming Bush for the terrorist attacks, but I have to disaggree with your other statement jonesy, the attacks have not slowed down at all. There was the nightclub bombing in Bali, the theatre attack in Moscow, the train station bombing in Spain (Madrid?) and this recent school attack. All after September 11th 2001.
The war in Iraq had nothing to do with terrorists except for that fact that they flooded into the area when Saddam's regime fell. It's not slowing down the terrorist attacks either. If the U.S. and the world in general wanted to really slow down the terrorist attacks they should have finished the job in Afghanistan (not trying to be anti U.S. on this one, Canada had it's role too) and gone from leads there. Malaysia and a bunch of other countries along the southern pacific rim have a bunch of terror organizations and they should be focusing on these areas as well as the middle east.
But now a whole new generation of terrorists have been created and inspired by what happened in the jails in Iraq. And that one you CAN blame Bush for.
