Terrorisim has been around for a loooong time.

I seem to remember a dirty sneak attack that infiltrated the fabric of our society back in 1941 that killed nearly as many as 9/11. Granted most wore uniforms but I don't think to the dead that really means anything. Still scarred the heck out of our National psyche.

Heck, we killed over 200,000 civilians in Japan using a weapon that had never been used before. That's quite a catostrophic act that no government had ever had to deal with before.

We were on the brink of nuclear war during the Kennedy Administration. That had to be a little stressful for the Whitehouse considering it threatened to destroy the entire planet in an instant.

I think FDR was facing something like the Great Depression and total German domination of the world. That couldn't have been easy considering he was a Democrat

Hey, 9/11 was a big deal but ultimately it was 19 guys with box cutters who got lucky.

You know, the best way to deal with terrorism? Don't let yourself be terrorized. It drives them nuts.

I think Carter was by far the worst President in my life time. Nice guy and everything but made all the wrong moves. I think Bush has made some huge blunders but to blame him for everything like the left does is pathetic. What happened to Nancy Pelousy and her band that got voted in to change the direction of the war and the country, Nothing happened, things just got worse. They spend every media event taking cheap shots at Bush and pointing fingers while they go on vacation and do nothing, nada, zero to help anything.

I think you can give Bush some credit for finally finding his VETO pen in this regard. It's not like they have enough of a majority to push everything through.

But that being said there's been quite a lot of legislation signed into law under this Congress. Your assertion that there's been nothing in two years is simply not true.

And the Surge is working argument appears to be a combination of factors, a big one being that a lot of Iraqis have stopped fighting us for the moment. Let's hope it holds, but I noticed a new report saying that troops aren't going home anytime soon.
