"And it is certainly true that leaders the world over and through all of recorded history have maintained power by exaggerating threats and assigning scapegoats. I can't imagine anyone would be so stupid as to think Republicans were immune to the lures of these tactics. Read a paper."

Gore is claiming the world as we know it will end within 10 years. Last time I check he wasn't a Republican.

It's not unreasonable to be concerned possible threats, after the terrorist fly planes into building with goal of killing tens thousand of civilians.
Bush has been praised by Muslim leaders in this country, because of his efforts to minimize violence towards muslims. It's true, that Americans in general are pretty rational in this regard, but Bush in the way he handled this, deserves some praise. Though it's possible the FBI might learned a few things after Waco and Ruby Ridge.
