W. and the damage done President Bush inherited a peaceful, prosperous America. As he exits, Salon consults experts in seven fields to try to assess the devastation. By Vincent Rossmeier and Gabriel Winant [2009-01-08]

• Because they refused to maintain Clinton's policies towards terrorists?????

  During the Clinton years:

  -The bombings of the World Trade Center in 1993

  -The bombings of US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_United_States_embassy_bombings

  -The Air Force Khobar Towers barracks in Saudi Arabia: http://partners.nytimes.com/library/world/africa/062696binladen.html

  -The USS Cole: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing

  -The Blackhawk Down retreat from Somalia

  Again, the teaser line of this story "President Bush inherited a peaceful, prosperous America." I'm just pointing out that it is an utter fallacy and to make an assesment of the past eight years without a mention of 9/11 is just ludicrous. Elephant in the room??
