Of course it "Could" have been prevented. So could have Pearl Harbor and even the genocide that followed our abandonment of Viet Nam. 20/20 hindsight is always pretty clear.

I clearly recall the weeks leading up to 9/11 as we were hearing warnings of increased terrorist activity, but overseas was placed on high alert, not here at home.

America's long lasting complacency once again let us be caught with our pants down.

A lot of people have a share of blame in that, but the ones I pin most on is the Clinton's for their 8 years of lackluster performance in combatting terror. Their domestic policies didn't help either.

Any child can see that it "could" have been prevented. Now, the question is, what do we do to make sure it never happens again?

My answer to that is to view each candidate running for POTUS very closley and choose who has the strongest anti-terror stance. I believe that person to be Duncan Hunter

Hindsite is 20/10 btw......way better than avg.
