Jim Jackson said:
Ben Stein said In any event, Bush's main goal has been to save the nation. Why doesn't he get some credit for that?

It's a laudable goal. He does get credit for it. It's called his re-election. Does Ben forget that Bush was re-elected just a little over a year ago? Is that not Bush getting "some credit"?

But what further needs to be said to address Ben's question is this:

(a) where was Bush in summer, 2001? If Ben wants to know if people forget 9-11, my answer is no. We don't forget this administration's failure that let 9-11 happen; that cannot be overlooked. It was on Bush's watch. He was in office 8 months. Did he let it happen? I won't say that. But it did happen on Bush's time. Until bin Laden is brought to justice over it, that cannot be forgotten.

(b) Many of us are not convinced he's saving the nation. We remain unconvinced that one of his main goals is not the re-making of the United States more in line with his own ways of thinking.


But terrorists! 9/11! Bush is president! the terrorists win!

Bow ties are coool.
