Well, can't disagree that the financial markets were disrupted, and being a
global economy, that hit the rest of the world too. Wasn't aware that there
were 7 buildings there, admittedly.
I didn't address the second part of your assertion "but far more damage has
been done by the current administration" because as I haven't been to the US
recently, my opinion wouldn't count for much ; also it's too big a topic to
debate (especially off topic) meaningfully. Come over here and we can
debate it over a beer.
As for Iraq, (I'll state my opinion but I won't debate it), I think that was
more a case of GW finishing off his dad's business rather than having
anything to do with terror ; look to Saudi for that. I do believe that it
was the right thing to do (and that GB senior shouldn't have left it
unfinished in the first place). Whether or not WMDs existed is irrelevent
as it was still worth doing, and I don't expect politicians to tell me the
truth anyhow.
