Accidents Do Happen

his from a story in Sunday's Washington Post about Uber-Veep Cheney on the campaign trail:

The crux of his [Cheney's] pitch is what he calls the continuing "danger to civilization." Cheney, who warned in 2004 that the United States would be hit by terrorists if Democrat John F. Kerry was elected president, has not gone that far this time but does say that it "is not an accident" that the country has not suffered another attack since Sept. 11, 2001, giving Bush credit.

So, what exactly is Cheney's explanation for the U.S. not being attacked from February 1993 through the remainder of the Clinton administration -- and we didn't even have to invade Iraq to fight the terrorist there so they didn't come here?

We've spent $500 Billion dollars of our children's and grandchildren's inheritance on the Iraq war. History suggests -- justifications aside -- that it was totally unnecessary. Or was it just an accident that America wasn't attacked for 8.5 years while we had a Democrat in the White House?
