I'm definitely not as radical as Michael Moore is about Bush's tenure so far, believe me! I don't think that Bush "concocted 9/11 for his own gain," but I do think there's been some exploitation of it, which has made us, as a nation, look bad in the eyes of other nations. Sadly, the world's view of the U.S. as a whole has grown increasingly more sour since 2001, but hopefully the Bush administration does some serious mending of relations over the next four years.
