"The evidence suggests that Bush may feel some responsibility, even guilt, for not doing enough to counter Al Qaeda before Sept. 11, 2001. Certainly, terrorism had no great priority. There was no "war" against it."

While in general I agree with this article, this particular paragraph is replete with Mort's nasty side. Mort thinks that the President has guilt about Sept 11? Did Mort forget that by that point in time the President had barely had time to get his administration together and effectively working due to the RATS and the election aftermath of 2000? It's not like it was a "normal transition" of power earlier that year. And no Mort, there was no "war on terror" prior to September 11, 2001 because the terrorists had not taken over 3 civilian airliners and crashed them into high rise buildings on our sovereign soil prior to that time.

While what you say is true,I believe what Mort says is as well.W seems a very human,compassionate fellow.I'm certain he feels some guilt about 9/11.
