people who feel safer after 9/11 under Bush have been lulled by the inactivity of Al-Qaeda on American soil. They have been very active internationally and show little sign of the disruption Bush claims he has inflicted upon them. Butch is right when he says the actions Bush has taken in Iraq have greatly increased terrorist recruiting, making the world and, eventually, the US far less safe. It's only a matter of time before the US is hit again and it will go on for many generations. One of the underlying factors in the unrest in Chechnya is the former Soviet WMD Butch mentioned. If Bush was truly concerned about the security of the US he would have continued a strong push in Afghanistan and Pakistan, secured Russia's loose nukes and taken steps to secure US ports of entry which are essentially as penetrable as they were before 9/11
