No.
I blame the stupid infighting and lack of anything getting done ON BOTH SIDES.
Out of Afganastan, Out of Irag, End the bush tax rates and things would be a lot rosier IMHO.
neither side has the balls to do that.

"Their 911 shenanigans has driven this country to financial ruin!!!"
Wrong. Reckless, stupid spending is leading us to ruin. An Addiction to welfare and entitlements are leading us to financial ruin.
"We are trying to free Iraq??? Hows that going???"
It's going spectacularly well, in fact. Iraq is now a pro-western democracy (though still fledgling). Those people are way better off now, than they were before we stepped in. I'm not necessarily saying it was worth the price we paid, but the fact is, Iraq is the closest thing to a free democracy that there is in that region. Bush speculated the once democracy took hold in Iraq that it would "spread like pollen", and all the protests in neighboring countries seem to suggest he was exactly right on that score.

If anyone here does not believe that 911 has cost the US untold TRILLIONS of dollars then you are a fool. We are running 2 different wars as a result....lives lost, dollars pissed away and YES....all because 911 happened....the rest is a drop in the bucket!
Once we "withdraw" from Iraq....they will soon resume their old ways and fall back into the way things used to be....do not kid yourself!
PS-Homeland Security ring a bell???? Trillions spent right there on measures to ensure our security....if thats at all possible.

Obama's budget proposal earlier in the year told us what he thought of Simpson Bowles
the best way to "some increases in revenue" is to grow the economy....not increase taxes in an already bad economy....increased taxes and regulation inhibit economic growth...I know that these are new concepts...
