And by the same token, just because you haven't been attacked ever since, it doesn't necessarily mean Bush is doing a good job of defending you. In fact, from what I hear, America is still vulnerable to WTC style attacks.

Here is a list of attack's on the U.S. since 1979 by terrorist.....
The WTC attacks in 2001 was the first MAJOR attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor. The WTC towers were attacked in 1993

Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979
Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983
Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983
Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988
First New York World Trade Center attack 1993
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996
Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998
Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000
New York World Trade Center 2001
Pentagon 2001

I think it was about time a president stood up and took some action. America will always be vulnerable to attacks, as is any nation in the world. Nobody is immune to attacks.....
