if so .... how come the number of total terrorist actions have decreased since bush has taken office, to the lowest level in almost 20 years? Because most people on this board would state that the bush administration has done a terrible job with foreign policy. So if terrorism is directly linked to foreign policy, then how come we arent having more terrorist incidents?? Another plausible explanation is that maybe the long term effects within Bush's foreign policy initiatives have not yet caught up with us? What do yall think?
