We lost 3,000 people on 9/11/01, due to our lack of focusing on the Middle East.

Correction -- We lost 3,000 people on 9/11/01 due to our lack of focusing on the United States.

Any U.S. response to 9/11 that does not include the sacking of every incompetent bureaucrat in the FBI, CIA, INS, etc. is both inadequate and misdirected.

Am I right?

Good luck with trying to “sack” a whole bunch of career employees! The US government is full of them, and they ain’t going nowhere!
