Monday morning quarterbacking this issue will get us nowhere. 3,000 Americans lost their lives because many factors were in play. The INS and State Department policies do not protect the United States: Lax visa laws; training schools for pilots with no way of really checking the veracity of the student and wanting the money anyway: Universities and colleges pushing mul·ti·cul·tur·al·ism claiming they want the diversity and the
money it brings: Lax security at airports and on the plane itself: Profiling and political correctness: EPA rules that stopped the use of heat resistant materials in the Twin Towers while being built...materials that might have stopped the massive imploding had steel girders been protected: Linda Daschle lobbing for the airlines
NOT to have to increase security because of the money it takes.: Al Gore on whose watch let the FAA take a pass in many areas: The Clinton years instead of beefing up our national security, sold it and let National Security from the CIA to Los Alamos lapse into a limbo of willful disrepair.
To try and blame a new administration for years of disregard, bad policy in the departments responsible for our security, Albright's department comes to mind, cannot and will not ever repair the damage done to life, limb and real estate.
3,000 Americans lost their lives because we didn't care about who came to our country and why.
Yoe, you nailed it, baby! Although my rational side says it's useless to blame the Clintoon administation for 9-11, I still can't help (based on all the info that has since come out) but wonder if this whole thing could have been avoided if he and his cronies had not spent time in the White House.
