   CH attempted to impart some wisdom, instead sputtering:   
      
   :: You   
   :: don't. In fact, Clinton prevented an attack.   
   :   
   : And just which attack was this? Can you elaborate?   
      
   i, for one, would be glad to.  Clinton prevented attacks on the UN   
   Headquarters in New York, the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, the FBI   
   Building, the Israeli Embassy in D.C., the LA and Boston airports, the   
   George Washington Bridge, and the US Embassy in Tirana, Albania (which   
   is considered American soil).  also, there was the much-hyped Millenium   
   Bomber...  Clinton took out al-Qaeda cells in more than 20 countries,   
   and CREATED a national security post to oversee and coordinate all   
   federal counterterrorism activity.  his first and second crime bills   
   were practically entirely comprised of anti-terrorism legislation, and   
   he created a national stockpile of drugs and vaccines in case of   
   biological or chemical attacks.  after the Embassy bombings, Clinton   
   issued a Presidential Directive authorizing the assassination of Osama   
   bin Laden.  by any measure, he was the first President to aggressively   
   tackle the problem of terrorism.  wanna guess who thought up the idea of   
   a Department of Homeland Security?  wanna guess who scoffed at the   
   notion?   
      
   were you even LIVING here at the time?  i mean, do you fucking know   
   anything at all?  or have you just picked up the party lie - i mean,   
   line - that Clinton sat on his ass while terrorists took over the world?   
      
   there IS NO TERRORIST THREAT.  Bush rules through fear, and that's why   
   you think he's out there fighting terrorists...  he's not.  he's   
   certainly not preventing anything.   
      
   look at it this way:   
      
   in the year 2000, your chances of dying in a terrorist attack on the US   
   were a big, fat zero.   
      
   in the year 2002, your chances of dying in a terrorist attack on the US   
   were a big, fat zero.   
      
   in the year 2003, your chances of dying in a terrorist attack on the US   
   were a big, fat zero.   
      
   the only year you did have a chance was in 2001, and your chances were   
   still 1 in 100,000.   
      
   in 2001, you had a greater chance of dying:   
      
   - from pneumonia (1 in 4,500)   
   - by suicide (1 in 9,200)   
   - in a homicide (1 in 14,000)   
   - in a car accident (1 in 6,500)   
      
   where was the government?  why wasn't anyone freaking out about this   
   apparent pneumonia epidemic?  where were the Orange Alerts?  why didn't   
   we bomb anybody?  looking at just the suicide rate, it means we were a   
   greater danger to OURSELVES than terrorists were to us in 2001.   
      
   you're simply banding together with the rest of the idiots who need to   
   be told how to live their lives by the tickers on CNN and FNC.  watch   
   the FACTS, and stop interpreting them.   
      
   --   
   Some of us feel that Mr. Bush will find the real liars about the Iraq   
   war and about the economy on the same day that O. J. turns up the real   
   murderers.
