Long after bush is out of office, we will still be at threat from terrorism. That I know. Did his eight years make a difference in making terrorism a lesser threat. Not in my opionion. If anything it made it worse and has tied American military assets in more places around the world. Has it lessoned tensions with countries around the world? No, its hightened concerns and lessoned relationships with allies we've had for forty or more years. Are we safe from terrorism, course not. If anything we're more in danger now than we ever have been. And at the cost of our personal freedoms an lives. Many additional Americans have died because of poor planning and near sighted political agendas. Lets face it, theres an idiot in office.
