But can you honestly say that the economy wouldnt have ever had the issues it had the past few years of 9/11 didnt happen? Paul.. as much as you hate Bush, even you cant be blinded enough by hatred for the man to see Al Quida is why our economy took a nose dive. Until that day our Stock Market was strong, economy was strong and things were great, and guess what, Bush was in office then to. 9/11 is the downfall of the economy, not Bush. Did you think we would get the worst attack on US soil's history and the economy not take a huge hit?
