I can't agree with you. Let me count the ways... no, I don't have that
kind of time.
I started listing the grand follies I could foresee even watching the
2000 campaign from Amsterdam, but the actual blooded tragedy list
out-does anything I conjured - especially the Katrina fiasco. Besides,
the rebuttals from killer B's have been pretty good.
I'll see your hand-waiving about shadowy Al-shaped boogie-monsters and
raise you one extended parable of America as the Good Cop instead of
Bad. If you want an interesting illustration of working "smarter" not
"harder" on the problem of anti-terrorism, take a look at this
alternate-history where Gore was actually president when 9-11 occurred
and he {characteristically} engaged the moribund post-com high-tech
industry and an eager world into a strong effective coalition of
distributed social efforts to truly marginalize AQ.

It's more engaging than my little explanation does it justice.
