he even got a report about bin laden with the title "Bin Laden determined to strike in the US".What did he do after he read that?Nothing cus he didnt,he didnt think is was more important than golf. |
sorry, but that is a lame argument.
Because, even if he could tell from that memo that Osama Bin Laden was DEFINATELY going to make these huge attacks, Bush would not have been able to stop him. I feel the real failure was on the part of these airport security personnel, on that terrible morning. Seems suspicous when a large group of mean-looking Saudis walk by, don't you think?
It is purely ludicrous to say Bush could have prevented this attack. Even with the US's current anti-terrorism laws, it is not going to be airtight, I'm sure there may be more attempts to come. We can only hope they can be prevented.
Actually, think about it long enough, and you will reach the same conclusion the President did. The best way to defeat terrorism is to spread freedom. We can change the world in which we live, and it is a noble role to assume in the world. Of course America will catch a lot of flack for it. I beleive the flack was in the EXTREME. Many people who disagree with Bush's policies (not based on the policies themselves, but based on what they think his intentions are), distrust those who wear their morality like a badge.
And that is where I disagree with Bush. He is far to open with his beleifs, causing unbeleivers to question his credibility. After all, he is the president of the united states of america, not an evangelist. While I can see how christians like myself are called to spread the gospel, he is far too open with his religion. It makes everyone uncomfortable, so now most people believe that the armageddon is coming soon!
Whether that is the case or not, I still tend to agree with Bush.
He said, "I love to hear people tell me they are praying for me and my family". THAT is exactly where americans gets uncomfortable. It has the appearance of Bush saying he cannot make a mistake because he has the "back-up" from the Lord.
