How would Bush have stopped the attacks we saw on 9/11 without bringing air travel to a halt and shortening all the buildings in the country? And when would he have decided it was okay to let planes take off again? When would towering buildings have seemed less like targets?

Yes, security can be beefed up, investigations can be launched, but a foiled plot in 2001 (if they'd gotten that lucky) would not have meant we were therefore safe. We will never be safe.

That's the nature of the human condition.
