How do we know that since 9-11 with the Presidents policies and the war on terror hasn't worked?

Question

Since we have had no attacks and numerous arrests around the world of cells wouldn't it make sense that he is doing the right thing? Don't give hate give me
facts if you feel different.

Around the world have increased we must look at different facts-besides that I'm talking about here in America!

totally lost -where are you from does your country enjoy Americas protectoin or financial support so unless you can say no quit hating.

Answer 1

Just because we have not been attacked does not mean it is because we are being protected properly...Maybe they haven't been planning an attack us on our soil.

By the way Josh, to answer your question from a previous post. I would have joined the marines but I have a lung disase as a result of the 9-11 attacks world trade center dust and I am unable to join (not that I would at this point, because I don't believe in the war in Iraq..Only against Osama.)

Also, there were no attacks by Islamic terrorists on American soil during the Clinton administration...Was he doing a good job also? There wasn't any on American soil under the Carter administration, did he do a good job too?

Another thing is that everybody who responded respectfully gave you facts, and yet you still feel the need to assume everyone hates you. I doubt if anyonehates you, it's just that many people do not agree with Bush's policies.

Answer 2

Since 9/11, terrorist attacks have increased around the world.

Total convictions for terrorist actions: less than 10 (most of the "terrorist" convictions have been for immigration law violations, not terrorist activities)

Cost in lives of US anti-terrorist forces: almost 3,000
Cost in money: over $250 billion (and growing)
number of major corporations who made obscene war profiteering gains: too many to count
total amount of funds missing and unaccounted: $9 billion(just from Paul Bremer's office)
number of anti-terrorist forces sent into action with inadequate safety gear and under-armored vehicles: 100% of forces
value of local infrastructure destroyed in pursuit of terrorists: $billions upon $billions
deaths of uninvolved civilians while we pursued terrorists: in Iraq, 30,000-50,000; in Afghanistan, far fewer, but way more than 0

Answer 3

Americans are scared from somethings doesn't exist ...your government is just using the war on terror for economical interest ..it commit crimes all over the world proclaiming it is fighting terrorism actually all it is doing is increasing the number of people dislike American government ..and the human nature is so naive that they usually cant diffrincaite between governments and people espcailly when we are talking about victims of tryant government (American) ...

Based on results, I think any fairminded person has to say Bush's policies have worked.
