    Under Clinton,In 2000 Millinium a terrorist plot was prevneted that was going to occur at LA airport from terrorist stopped at the U.s. Canadian border.

    Yes, there was an attack at the in U.s before, but they handled without alarming the public every week. Terrorism was exploited by the Bush administration to expand presidenital powers and justify the pro war faction.

    Why is It U.s. ctizen NEVER cared a hoot all the terrorist attacks against middle east populations where THOUSANDS up THOUSANDS have been killed over the decades, but when they hit the U.S.and killed UNDER 3,000 people, the Bush administration went into a frenzy of 'terrorism' and fanned it's flames? More people are killed every day in auto accidents that terrorists attacks. That attack had NOTHING to do with Iraq. The Bush administration used it as an excuse to attack Iraq.
