It's a resource and forecasting thing. There are all kinds of threats to Americans - car accidents kill 50,000 people a year. Should we focus 100% of our resources to that threat? No. You focus the resources where the need is greatest and a bombing of an embassy doesn't merit the kind of resources that, say, road safety might. The methodology to determine that mix is an art, not a science. Bush's failure is a failure to focus resources on the source of the problem: Bin Laden and Al Quaeda. Instead he created a new problem, and put huge amounts of resources there. Clinton's failure was in forecasting; but a failure in forecasting is much smaller than a failure in execution. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:215052 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
