Why Didn't Bush Do More to Stop Terrorism?
Matt Yglesias, writing for American Prospect, explains why President Bush could have done more to stop al-Qaeda and terrorism but didn't.
Differences aside, it's possible to detect a coherent story here: Bush inherited a set of policies that he knew to be inadequate, and he wanted to do more; unfortunately, there wasn't time to put a "more comprehensive policy" into place, and the country paid the price. It's a coherent story, but it's one that's contradicted by the facts.
