You are so right. Bush DID inherit the terrorism created by Carter and ignored by Clinton. Yes, much better and so true.

yup, much better ..
American soldiers are "paper tigers," Osama bin Laden told ABC News in 1998. "The Marines fled after two explosions."
In April 1983, terrorists smashed a stolen GMC pickup loaded with explosives into the U.S. Embassy, killing 63 people, including 17 Americans.
Six months later, the truck bomb at the Marine barracks killed 241 U.S. troops
Using the Beirut bombings as a guide, terrorists:
—attacked American embassies in Kuwait two months later, and Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, killing 307 Americans and others.
—hijacked TWA Flight 847 for 17 days in 1985, taking hostages and killing a Navy diver.
—exploded Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, killing 270.
—bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, killing six and wounding about 1,000.
—killed 19 Americans in the 1996 bombing of Khobar Towers, a U.S. military base in Saudi Arabia. The attack also wounded more than 370 Americans and Saudis.
—struck the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39 others.
—flew hijacked planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, killing nearly 3,000 people.
In those cases and dozens more, terrorists exploited unconventional methods and Western openness. And in almost every case until Sept. 11, the U.S. military response was minimal
Gee, Thanks Ronnie !
