Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I just don't see anything special about how they handled it afterwards.. Not saying they handled it terribly, until Iraq anyways.. But more that any/every American could and would have done the same..
There is nothing they did which makes me buy into the "strong leader" argument..

I agree.
Look at Rudy, he seems to take a lot of the credit for leadership during 9/11....while others did most of the work.

Those who praised these people in our nations leaders, were probably the ones being paid large amounts of money to get these government contracts to go overseas, and comit illegal Activities now, and make 3 times the amount any American Soldier will make.
Why? Because the presdient does not care about taking care of our Troops, especially when they get hurt and come home to the VA medical center and hospitals.
Why pay government contractors and halliburten Companies to send some Protective members into there that cost our troops much more harm and hatred to our country, and pay them 3-4 times what our soldiers make.
What a crock this Pressident and VP have made the worst decisions in American history, and lied to us all this time.

Because of how they handle the situation. You can run and hide or rise up and fight back. Chamberlain was a war leader- he was seen as weak and was cast aside then came Churchill, a strong leader.
Clinton ignored the attacks of the 90s so as to keep everything going smoothly in terms of the economy and to keep from alienating allies. Is that strong? I know people get mad but Osama gave an interview in 98 and said our lack of response and hasty withdrawal from Somalia are what showed him he could not only attack America at will but could defeat it. Get mad at him, he said it. Or are you calling him a liar for saying where he got his "guts" to pull off a massive attack???
PS: GW has messed up Iraq but things are turning around. He tried to fight a PC war and that doesnt work,; you have to lay the smack down.

Not everything can be prevented, it is how they handle the attack and how frequent the attacks are, on whether or not they are a strong leader.

Well Blair saw a nice bump in his ratings after the London bombings. When people are afraid they get a little clingy.

Something to do with being so afraid that anyone can now manipulate a person to believe and support anything. Bush supporters' every move is rooted in being afraid of the improbable.

Actually - I think they praise themselves & we just follow suite.
Does "Good job, Brownie" sound familiar??
UPDATE:
and don't forget about the fake news conference FEMA had the other day..

Don't encourage them. They just may plan an attack to make themselves appear to be a strong leader.
