President Bush did something far more reasonable. He offered a disproportionate response.
I am reminded of when former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office and promptly set about cracking down on the terrorist organizations that had declared war on Israel. The international media quivered at his response.
It should however be noted that under Netanyahu's stewardship, suicide bombings were nearly non existent and Israel managed treaties with neighboring Egypt and Jordan.
It's obvious that the Islamofascists will only respond to overwhelming force. Nothing like 9/11 has happened to the US since, it's obviously working.

Worth repeating:

"The transcripts, published by a British newspaper, reveal that Al Qadea had planned a second wave of attacks on the heels of September 11 targeting the west coast. Those plans were aborted, Mohammad said, because of President Bush's decisive crackdown on terrorist threats."
Anybody got a link to these transcripts?

This to me is W's greatest achievement: the prevention of more 9/11-like events. I wonder how many Americans, Democrat as well as Republican, working in the Library Tower in LA and the Sears Tower in Chicago, realize that they owe their lives to this President's bold policy of pre-emption. A liberal might jump to point out that this is a hypothetical. But 9/11 was not a hypothetical. It was the central event of our time.
This ranks among the most important stories of the year.

"Al Qaeda assumed we would offer a small, measured response to September 11 attacks. That is to say, they assumed we were soft would continue to swat at flies." Thanks be to God that the Kerreys and clintons and Kerrys are no longer holding the swatters.

I still believe there were more planes already in the air on Sept 11 that were never hijacked due to the mass grounding ordered by Pres. Bush...
