Tom,

As much as I have been an Anti-Bush man, I don't think that this is a situation President Bush himself can take on his own. Due to the four hijacked planes, two of which crashed into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon, and the fourth outside of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; this was a highly planed attack and it will take some time for the United States Intelligence, including the National Security Administration, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to collect data and figure out who these perpetrators really are. Though there is a lot of speculation that Bin Laden, a highly feared Muslim who delcared a Ji'had(Holy War) against the United States, there is nothing concrete on who planned and coordinated these attacks. President Bush said Tuesday morning after hearing about these tragic events, that the United States will do whatever it takes to located these people and make them pay for the atrocities they have committed with the death of possibly over 20,000 Americans.
But the point right now is not Bush "finally" doing something positive for the US, but being concerned about the many who have died in the attacks and as a direct result of the attacks when the WTC Towers crashed to the streets of New York City along with the hundreds of rescue workers braving the dangerous rubble to find survivors. I know many students here at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, who were on the phones calling their parents, relatives, and friends who live and work in the Manhattan area, along with those who were said to be flying out of Boston Tuesday morning, to ensure that they were not one of the victims. The entire country's military, including the United States National Guard, of which my father holds the rank of Lt. Colonel in, is on alert. All of the major shopping malls, including the Mall of America ten miles south of me, along with the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, also ten miles south of me, the IDS Tower(a governmental and commercial office building three blocks from my work) and the Minneapolis Government Center(one block from my work) were both shut down and evacuated as of 1:00 PM CST Tuesday. Classes at the University of Minnesota were cancelled at noon Tuesday and many turned out for a prayer service for those who have had friends, family, and relatives lost in the destruction.
So, the main concern right now should not be politics, but one of a more personal nature.

These are just my thoughts and some information regarding the entire situation.
