What was Bush supposed to do after 9/11? Was he supposed to just roll over and let the terrorists win?
No, of course not. Almost everyone agrees with Bush for going after Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. They were behind 9/11 and they had to be dealt with. But rather than finish the job and capture Osama Bin Laden, Bush dropped the ball. He focused his attention, and the world’s attention, on Iraq. This seems strange when you consider that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. It isn’t so strange when you consider that Iraq has the world’s third largest oil reserves and is at the strategic center of the Middle East. Since Bush’s invasion, Iraq has become a haven for terrorists who can now operate freely in the chaos of a country at war.
