Why people keep harping on this subject baffles me. What is done is done. Yes thousands of people were killed, but why are we wasting millions of dollars in investigations about why we didn't act on the information we had and how much information we knew. Who cares! Nothing you can do about it now. Do you think mister "talk it through and put it in a lock box" Gore would have done anything, don't know! IMO I don't think he would have, but that's just my worthless opinion. I don't think there will ever be a president that holds respect from the entire nation. Yes, some are respected more than others, but they all have their critics. I am very pleased with the way Bush has handled things, but I voted for him so I better be happy with his performance. Bush gets two thumbs up from me. :)
