Gregg Easterbrook wrote an “alternative history” imagining what might have hapened had GW Bush “done something to prevent 9/11.” This imaginary scenario demonstrates what I’ve been thinking all along: nobody is able to see into the future except God himself, and even if they were, it wouldn’t change political realities. Unless the entire American public (or a sizeable majority thereof) were able to see with you, you couldn’t do anything about a threat that was yet to materialize. As Bush said in his press conference, Osama Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11.
One thought on “What if Bush had done something before 9/11?”
Hello and thank you for the link to M-mv. I actually found your site via “snail trails” (i.e., referrals that come up on BlogPatrol, showing me where and how folks are finding me). Again, thank you for linking.
For what it’s worth, *I* read your blog. Many of the books your cite as faves (and some movies, too) are favorites of mine. Great minds, huh? (*grin*)
