Bush KOs liberal ?nuisance' - Zach Porter

Imagine you're relaxing at a fine Egyptian resort in the Sinai, you're out by the pool nibbling on some fresh dates, waiting for a fresh cup of coffee to be delivered by a hotel attendant. It's a gorgeous day and you think you might make a day trip to see those amazing pyramids. You're about to bring another succulent date to your mouth when..... an explosion rocks through the hotel behind you sending debris helter-skelter, a deathly black plum of smoke fills the air. Are your family and friends gone? Are others lying lifeless around you? Are you covered in shattered glass? Do you weep while trying to help others to safety? Maybe so. But if you're John Kerry, apparently you dust the glass off your jacket and look around for your hairstylist while exclaiming, "What a nuisance!" Terrorism has never been a nuisance to those who have experienced it directly and it is certainly a bad idea to suggest that the value of certain lives lost in an act of terror, may it be in New York or Israel, are events to be categorized as a nuisance.

During the 90's (under the Clinton administration) terrorism was regarded in much the same way as John Kerry sees it until it finally hit home in 2001 (you know the day). Clinton may have retaliated for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania but he is on the record as not taking Osama bin Laden into U.S. custody when he had the chance. He called the issue a "hot potato." How cute is that, charming even? No doubt he was using that charm to his advantage in the oval office while Osama was plotting the death of thousands of Americans from his cave of terror.
