What has that got to do with anything?
But think about it. We all start off the same. What changes the way we act ? Do other view us the way we view ourselves. Do we view others the way they view themselves.
A lot of the problems in the world are because we take a one dimensional viewpoint. We don't try to understand them and they don't try to understand us. It then become a question of who is going to "have it up to here" first.
Interesting though that Bush has "lowered the bar" now to define success in the same way that they condemned kerry for.
Oh in that case Clinton was a success, because after the first bombing at wtc we had no other attacks here while he was in office..... just the ones "over there".
Success is defined as raising terror attacks worldwide (American targets included) as long as we haven't been attacked (YET) in downtown USA. Great foreign policy. The world will love it and as families bury their loved ones the cries of "thank goodness the Americans weren't hurt" will fill the air and we our popularity will soar

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
We most certainly do not start out "the same".
This bit about us understanding them and them understanding us is just blather, and if you ask them, they'll tell you the same thing.

No other attacks under Clinton?
News to me...

How do we not start out the same? Are they somehow born fully grown with a view?
And if you are going to call the rest "blather" explain why. Otherwise the comment is pointless.
I suggest that any attempt to understand is usually just a way to find something we can use to further our agenda, and vice versa
Your insinuation here is that it doesn't matter if the attacks are elsewhere. Well we weren't attacked again on the mainland while clinton was in office.Originally Posted by j2k4
I think it's a question of where this occurs, actually, and haven't we said "better there than here" at all (at all).
Now I could point out several domestic terrorist incidents but you made it clear earlier that it has to be AQ to count
