text: allright, where to begin, wiretapping american citizens has been going on for as long as it has been technologically possible, every president that could use it did to some degree, Nixon made it his favorite pastime and Bush seems to be obsessed with it, any legal resrictions against wiretaps have never been a problem to get around. Interesting note, Rumsfeld and Cheney also served in the Nixon white house, the same two men serving in the two worst administrations yet, maybe Bush isn't the problem?,..also, you're wrong about only foriegners commiting terrorist acts(remember Oklahoma City, Columbine), truth is, almost all terrorist acts committed on American soil have been committed by American citizens. As an American citizen living on US soil, you are far, far, far, more likly to be killed by someone you know rather than a terrorist, your chances of being killed by a terrorist are about the same as your chances of winning the lottery and being struck by lighting on the same day, gang bangers and carjackers are a much bigger threat to your daily life...Did Bush know about 911 beforehand? Evidence says yes, but not in a malicious, premeditated, way, more like when "you knew about the test last week but still didn't study" kinda way, negligence mainly. My personal opinion of Bush is not favorable, he has no idea what life is like for the average American, he's never had to worry about paying the bills,losing a job,paying for health care, the price of gas, none of the things people have to deal with everyday, he has spent his entire life being George Bush Jr.,If he had been anyone else he would be stuck in some obscure mid level management job, he barely graduated high school or college, he barely passed the pilots exam, spent his so called military career being AWOL from the national guard. He ruined every company he ran , basically, he's a rich little frat boy with no grip on reality and no desire to get it.
