If/when the next major terrorist attack occurs here in America, what or who will you blame?

Question

Will it be President Bush, “neo-cons” and America in general?

Or will it be the perpetrators themselves?

If you choose to blame President Bush, “neo-cons” and America, do you also subscribe to the belief that women who are beaten by their husbands deserve it?

I acknowledge the fact that no-one can “make” anyone else do anything they don’t want to (i.e. we must all be accountable for our actions regardless of any positive or negative outside influences).

Answer 1

The terrorists.

Nice way of framing your question. Might actually make people think about blaming a terrorist organization instead of the president ( who is an absolute moron).

Answer 2

I would first blame the terrorists themselves. But I would also consider our people's (mostly liberal) opposition to certain things like wire tapping and other things they feel violate our Constitution, that have seemed to keep out country pretty damn safe since 9/11. I feel that our country should be on the offense and do everything necessary to ensure our safety or else we will be seen as a weaker country who waits for things to happen and then reacts. Everything has to be so politically correct these days because if anybody is offended then it all blows up. People need to wake up and see the world we are living in. The Constitution was written over 200 years ago at a time when there were no terrorists nor were there the technologies we have today. I feel that the Constitution should change a little according to the time and the world we live in.

Answer 3

Terrorists for the attack

However, I wont withhold blame to anyone it should go to.
That includes blaming Bush/Cheney/Neocons if the attack is the result of:

More terrorists created by Iraq invasion instead of focusing on terrorism as we were told he would do.

Arming people who most likely will turn those weapons on us shortly.

Refusal to provide border security allowing easy entry into our country.

And I'll put part of the blame on him, because as we give up our rights he claims we're getting protection out of it---if that is shown to not be the case and they dont return our rights then we'll know that was not the true intent of things like the Patriot Act.

Answer 4

the person responsible for the attack ie bin ladin on 9/11. That is where the president screwed up, by not catching bin ladin so it is his fault for making the US look weak on catching and finding terrorist. I blame the terrorist first and then the dummy for not catching the perp.

Answer 5

Yes.. President Bush, “neo-cons” and America in general.

Answer 6

Well let's see. Who hasn't secured the borders? Who hasn't secured the ports. Who isn't enforcing the immigration laws? Were they in this country legally? Would the majority of them be Saudis and then we would invade another country? I would need some of those answers before I could say who I would blame.

Answer 7

No. Maybe George Washington is next in the list coz practically everyone has been blamed by the Rethugs so far.

And btw, user "Ted Kennedy", when I read "al-CIA", I couldnt help but LMAO and ROFL

Answer 8

Remember when your government trained jihadists and then they came back and attacked you?

Yea... great government you have going on. You surely grasp the international reality with you American education. Surely, you must be an above average American. Good spelling.

Answer 9

Obviously our govt. Federal, state, and city. There is more than enough blame to go around. They cant get along with each other long enough to fix any problems.

Answer 10

I'm going to blame the perpetrator, just like I did last time.
