Clinton clearly dropped the ball by not dealing with radical Muslims hell-bent on attacking America and its interests.  The image of the paper tiger, too timid to strike back encouraged further jihad against us.  The rearview analyses of what Clinton should have done in the face of attacks and threats against our country paint him in a pretty dim light.

Bush will likely fare as poorly.  We haven't been serious about fighting subduing terrorists.  We just captured Iranian military personnel in Iraq and our response was essentially "What is Iraq going to do about it?".  Well, those Iranians have been helping to kill U.S. service personnel.  What are we going to do about it?  In a recently declassified report, we offically admit that Arafat killed U.S. diplomats Cleo Noel and George Moore.  Yet, we still operate as if the PLO is an ally. 

When the next wave of jihadists attack us, emboldened by the paper tigers' inaction, I'm certain that the pundits will be listing the missed opportunities of the Bush administration to address the serious threats to our security.
