Honestly, I don't think it would have made a difference. The nature of this whole "War on Terror" means that it will never be over. There will ALWAYS be someone out there who wants to do you harm. If he had taken quick, forceful action against Al Queda it may have solved an immediate problem but I'm certain someone else would have stepped up, seeing the dead as martyrs, and redoubled their efforts. Its sort of a no-win situation.

Yes I do, however terrorism would still be a huge issue in the world today. Al Qaeda is not the only terrorist network. For example: http://www.google.com/search?q=hamas+in+america

i absolutly do, i stil believe we would have terrorism problems today, but at least Al Queda would have taken a huge hit and we could have captured Osama and other leaders while the threat was lower and before they grew really large. If president Clinton had taken action all those years of setting up the organization would have been more limited. Also, we still may of had the World Trade Center towers today and all those people would have not died.

NO no i think this question is a set-up .iraq has nothing to do with Al queda.How can you blame clinton for bush's short commings.although i see what you are saying he should have done more.

i don't know but it seems like 911 was revenge for the 1991 blunder of bush senior's Desert storm.We cut and run ,clinton was too involved in defending his sex practices to worry about anything else.perhaps if republicans would have dropped the sex scandal clinton may have done his job.Maybe next time right wingers will allow our president to protect our nation

I think that had we gone after Al Queda in 1993, or if we had taken action against the bombers who destroyed the Marine barracks in Lebanon when Regan was President we would be in a much better place today. this is not say that we have no problems--but that they would be of a lesser nature.

Tyler, I love you.

Your question exhibits such deep misunderstanding of history that it is difficult to know how to answer it. Firstly, there is no connection whatsoever between the illegal war against the Iraqi people and Al Quaeda. Even Bush doesn't claim that any more. It was all a lie to convince simps to approve the war. Secondly, there is no record anywhere in history of military action defeating terrorism. To have prevented the 9/11 attacks, America would have needed to take political action. I believe that Clinton tried his best to assist the Middle East peace process.

Yes, because for some Dumb_ss reason Bush had to go after Saddam, Granted he was not the most liked guy in the World. they did not find anything so he did it because his dad did not complete the mission the first time. But dont you think that We should be having Our Tax Dollars spent in Afganistan to get the Real Killer Bin Ladin. I lost someone inmortant to me in Iraq because he stood for you and me and his country. so I think Bush should send his children over there for nothing but personal gain.

Probably. He didn't pick up Bin Laden when he was offered this asshole. Clinton and Carter. Bad mistakes on our part.

I don't think we would. There are many to blame, but Clinton's lack of leadership for 8 years is a big factor.

Yes, Al Queda has no strong link with Iraq. They've yet to determine the relationship of the two. But if Europe had not capitulated to Germany after WWI, we would not have had to deal with Hitler in WWII. Hindsight is 20/20. There was oppurtunity but not enough justification for the collateral damage and international backlash that would have resulted as seen then.

What do you think of this series of answers? - + Anu-Jahwah May, 23 2008 at 06:58 AM 911/ well it not just the muslims you should blame, infact one of the suicide bombers is infact an Israeli, so i guess Judism is definitly the culprit in this. As a Thought i dont think it american who wants iraqs oil, but infact It is ISRAEL that wants the Oil. Why is Western Civilisation So Goods toward Judism Becasue Jews are Devoted to Israel that is why and many US president are indeed JEW related Jewish People are more dangerous then Muslims, Jewish is the Most Comman People Part of Freemasons nearly 70% of members are Jews Think 6 pointed star is a Freemason Symbol, and before the six pointed star was NOT a symbol for Judism, until it was tooken over in the 60 years ago. Freemason were the ones that formed and united Israel in 60 years Ago Sir Winston Churchil was a FreeMason and many of his family members are Jews, Hitlers Doctor was a Jew and he had a Jewish Background Jews are known for sacrifices = I would suppot the Muslimin Destroying this Israel, i can see why Muslims hate israel, It is Freemasons that are casuing this HATE between countrys + CaptainHarley May, 23 2008 at 08:14 AM Yes, it's all a world-wide zionist plot in cahoots with the Freemasons, the Illuminati, the Ku Klux Klan, and shadowy elements of the Women's Temperance Movement. Death to them all! + D Que USA California May, 23 2008 at 10:31 AM as usual, only the islamist knows anything about islam. +Cubaneyes May, 23 2008 at 11:25 AM [Edit] Cap't Harley: you're one of the few in-on-the-know about the secret power of the Women's Temperance Movement. These so-called little old ladies with blue hair and wearing sneakers are, indeed, the ultimate threat to world peace. I'm glad that you had the guts to bring this out in the open.

Since Iraq had no involvement with Al Quaeda or September 11, we would be in this boggle anyway. Bush wanted to invade Iraq, so he did, and he would have anyway.

im agreeing with the Talktalk The thing is this is George bush war and well his son figured he would finish it....but well it isnt as open and shut like he thought! So yeah we would still be here! But i wiill say this Clinton i believe would have found a good solution if 9 11 would of happened on his watch!

Politically, Clinton wouldn't have been able to invade Afghanistan or even launch more than a couple of cruise missile attacks. There wouldn't have been enough international cooperation to freeze Al Qaeda's financial assets worldwide, either.
