There was no provocation and therefore no need to rush into it.  Of course 
anyone could have done better.  One way to do better would be to do 
nothing.

Bush declined to go after bin Laden.  He said that he wasn't concerned 
about bin Laden.  Now that bin Laden is claiming that he will orchestrate 
another terrorist attack within the US, is Bush still not concerned?  He 
really went off the rails when he went into Iraq.  That was a obviously 
ridiculous plan that had to be propped up with a pack of lies.
