A few questions:
- Do you think George W. Bush was to blame for the attacks on 9/11, in the sense that he failed to prevent it? An attack that was planned long before the 2000 election?
- If yes, in what way would President Gore have acted in order to prevent this attack? What specific policy changes would he have accomplished between January and September of 2001 that would have kept these terrorists from training in Florida, that would have increased the competence of the FBI and CIA, and allowed them to combine data, that would have increased border security, despite the fact that many of the terrorists were already in America?
- Or maybe you are one of those who believes Bush not only knew of the attack beforehand, but allowed it to happen for political reasons? There are at least a couple of those here.
These and related questions about reality have something to do with being put in a certain category or not.
