Munin... there is plenty of blame to go in all sorts of places in terms of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.... it certainly does not go all on Bush... just as it does not all go on Clinton... just as it does not all go on our air defense... etc
I agree, Clinton was also responsible for his failures during his presidency (bombs under the WTC).
But each President bears full responsibility for what happens during his term, 9/11 was as much of a presidential failure as Pearl Harbor was. In both occasions the presidents were warned by their intelligence service.
A president is the highest commander in Chief of National defense, so everything that breaks through that defense is his responsibility. Every general has to bear responsibility for his troops when they get slaughtered, the same goes for a president and all the people under his command (the whole of the USA).
