I don't think that the attack could have been avoided whoever was President.

Such a method of attack was unprecedented and unforeseeable and inconceivable from a western perspective.

To blame Bush (or Clinton for that matter) is monumentally unfair.

And without sounding alarmist there is going to be further attacks somewhere around the world at sometime, that is just a sorry fact.

We all need to look for solutions not scapegoats.
