    To Carmina, who posted on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 08:01

    Dear Carmina.

    Your detailed list of five terrorist attacks during the Clinton administration makes the valid point that Bush didn't inherent a peaceful US. So if Clinton and Bush faced similar terrorist threats isn’t the important question how they responded to them? Clinton was too soft, but Bush's war on Iraq based on falsified intelligence has crippled the US armed forces into a global midget. That's what really scares me.

    Bjorn.
