most part. There are questions in my mind about using the atomic bomb on civillian populations- (and i DO believe it was not a mistake)- but secret prisions, the patriot act, using drone bombs to kill 'suspected' terraists, "let's just say they aren't going to bother us anymore" * said in his SOTU speech- depleted uranium, and the back door draft are all things that would never have been tolerated then.
And I suspect we agree, that what we are doing to 'suspected Al Qaeda members' pretty much guarantees that there will be many 'new' people who end up with the desire to do something on the lines of 9/11 or worse to us.

And that is something * will hold responsibility for if there is a history beyond the near future.
