"The blame for 9/11 goes back fully 25 years, and includes both Democratic and Republican presidents."
Sounds pretty accurate. For the terrorist folks did not just suddenly drop from the sky one day, and the next day, the bombings began. Everything had to have been around for quite some time, and blatantly ignored.
Why...
Power and money were far more important. Who wants to be bothered by messy things when there's money and power to be had...
I see two levels of blame for 9/11 and related attacks:
(1) The scum who actually did it (who get the lion's share)
(2) Those in charge in our government who failed to protect us from them.
Of course #2 goes back to Carter, who gets a great deal of my blame, and bubba (well we all know where HIS head was).
