You're ridiculous, this isn't about Bush-bashing and having someone to complain about.
I give the F@ up with you people.

Ok...what is he suppose to do?
Should we send them a few billion dollars, should we send in the troops, should he fly there and give a speech in front of the hotel?
I'm not sure what it is you think the president should do in this case.

There are plenty of other things you can beat Bush up about.
And I'm sure a half dozen Indian nationals died during 9/11 but I doubt anyone was asking to hear from the Indian prime minister.

George W. Bush has made many mistakes in office. His biggest ones in my opinion are in regard to preventing alternative energy programs from taking off -- especially electric cars -- so that we would no longer be in this oil and gas crisis. Electric car technology has always been the answer and those who tried to bring it about were stopped by the automobile and oil industries, in conjunction with the self-serving government. Electric cars require much less maintenance than combustible engine technology and are easier on the consumer pocketbook, as well as much friendlier to the environment.
Bush followed a policy of preventing the emergence of the electric car because he is a Texas oil millionaire with a vested interest. In reaction to the gas crisis, there is once again a movement to make electric cars available in the US, despite certain facets of the state and federal government, the automobile and oil industries, and their rich and powerful lobbies.
People tend to think that the US President is supposed to be some kind of SUPER BEING who is supposed to solve all the world's problems. This is a foolhardy and unrealistic perspective. I also think that many just like to bash others instead of coming up with constructive solutions themselves (which they initiate and/or support), as it is easier to blame others than to take upon the burden of responsibility
Some Americans were killed overseas due to terrorism. How the hell can a US President (anyone, not just Bush) stop something like that? The whole point of having a war on terrorism 'overseas' is to make sure that it is indeed 'over there' and not on American soil.
If the non-Americans in here don't like terrorists in their country, then they need to put pressure on their own government, their own President/Prime Minister to keep them secure from al Qaeda terrorism and related terrorist organizations.
As far as keeping the US safe is concerned, Bush has been successful; 9/11 only occurred here once. A key role of a President or Prime Minister is to use the military to defend his or her country. A nation that cannot defend itself is open to losing its sovereignty.
When Barrack Hussein Obama gets in power, we should all remember to bash him whenever any American anywhere in the world becomes a victim of a terrorist attack.
I mean, he is the Messiah after all, right?
Let's all try to look at this situation objectively and take responsibility instead of condemning those who really can't do a whole lot to prevent terrorist attacks from occurring.
Thank you.

Sorry for being slow, but I do not get the analogy here and what it has to do with W's response to the crisis in India.

How is that? As people you are taught to trust your government and that they will do good by you. No one was expecting that this man would ruin our whole understanding of the government and every last bit of confidence we had in any government. He deserves to be hanged like Saddam Hussein, and I believe that with all my heart.
