all i recall from "immediately after 9/11" was his speech on fighting Terrorism and calling the terrorists who made the ultimate sacrifice "cowards". although i am a pacifist and am COMPLETELY opposed to any kind of violence, i don't agree that these people were cowards. the true cowards hid in undisclosed locations. had they, bush and cheney, been the true targets of these guys, they'd be dead. i'm sure of it. but that wasn't on the agenda! anyway, bush will make good use of the footage of his "walking on the rubble in his levis" come campaign time. he had the opportunity to really shine, but he just doens' know how to do that, but the american peeps BELIEVE that he does. of course, these are the same peeps who consider a family vacation at dollywood and graceland to be synonymous with a cultural experience...
