First off, I personally believe this whole mid-term election blame game needs to be shifted away from a debate over which administration is responsible for causing 9/11. The terrorists were behind 9/11, not the American government (unless you endulge in the occasional conspiracy theory). But if we must bicker over this issue on which administration was truly "softer" on terrorism. Than I believe all of you must read Richard Clark's book, "Against all enemies" before you blog anymore. The man served as a non-partisan National Security Advisor since the Reagan administration and also served under Clinton and both Bush administrations. If anyone knows which administration was truly "less proactive" regarding the terrorist threat, it would be him. I don't want to spoil the book for you, but I'll give you a hint; Clinton atleast tried to fight terrorism, G.W. ignored it for his first eight months in office.
