#2 Hey, this is great. Now all we have to do to achieve national security is ask Ralphie what specific steps he would take to prevent the next attempted attack. Bribe Mullah Fudullah and all his crosseyed kinfolk?

#3 Being proactive is a Nader trait. Both my brother and sister-inlaw flipped their Corvairs, even after St Ralph spoke out about just such a danger. I'm also pretty sure that he is pro-peace and ant-anti war.

#4 Actually, had Nadar been elected President, the airlines would immediately have been hit with so many consumerist and safety mandates that they might have completely stopped flying by sept of 01.

#5 Bush would not have happened without Nader ;-)

#6 TGA--Too funny, and (thankfully) too true!

If Nader were prez, we wouldn't have been attacked because Osama & Co. would have been laughing too hard while sitting back waiting for the country to implode California-style.

Nader: 9/11 Attacks wouldnât have happened under President Nader

I guess not. Why attack when Prez Nader would have handed the country over without a fight?

You know...
In the interest of peace and all...

#8 I've generally found that there are few non-Americans who have a real understanding of United States domestic politics, although the intelligensia is beginning to get a clue that the Democrats are more to their liking than the Republicans. Thus, I find it unlikely that anyone would call for a break in the war against America if Nader replaced Bush today. (In fact, if any of them really understood domestic politics, they'd lay low NOW, stop the bombings, let the Democrats declare the war on terror won, and let them divert the attention of the American public to domestic issues (like who could most fairly divvy up the spoils of an economy renewed by Bush). Restart the war once the Democrats retake the Presidency and the Senate.)

#9 Ptah, you are right, and in the name of national security I would suggest you keep such comments to yourself.

#10 Nader the Nothing hisses hot air again. What a waste of protoplasm! Naderites are only slightly worse than Luddites, and either would make even a Democrat look good. Everybody here KNOWS what I think of Democrats, right???

May Nader get his tongue stuck to the door handle of a Corvair - in Nome, in March, in his skivvies.

#11 If the doors had been hardened, then the terrorists would have just kept killing stews like they did on one or more of the 9/11 flights where the pilots refused to open the cockpit doors. How many folks would Ralph sacrifice to keep the bad guys out of the cockpit. I'm guessing it would be zero. Guys like Nader never get it. They don't understand violence. Jimmy Carter was another example. So was MacNamara. Did any of those three ever get jumped from behind? Beaten in a fight by an opponent fighting dirty? Ambushed? Clueless pussies are every bit as dangerous to a free society as violent extremists.

#12 TGA >> LMAO. Then again, Clinton would not have been if not for Perot. ;-)

I hear that Naders next act will be to build an environmentally safe time machine to go back and prove he's right. Two problems though. It runs on refried beans, and his prozac prescription just ran out. It could work...

Anyways, Nader, you ain't so bad! I could've stopped the attack on Pearl Harbor if my grandparents had gotten busier alot sooner. The bastards!!! I even have a red cape and boots I could use. Now, where the hell is my Prozac?

#13 But Nader's right. If he had been president, 9/11 wouldn't have happened because there would have been too many flying pigs in the way of all the airplanes.
