    not fair to blame 9/11 on Bush

    I was watching a TV interview with Osama Bin Laden in which he said he was planning something big (can't remember the station but it was one of the big ones... I think ABC) before Bush entered office. Everyone knew Bin Laden was out there and everyone knew they should be doing more about it.

    On the other hand, it was Bush who took a catastrophe and spun it into a complete change of attitude for the entire country, for the sake of getting his greasy little paws on the Constitution and shredding it.
