i also don't believe, and hope, that there will be another 9//11 style attack. we've become much more aware these days....our safety, due partly to geograpy(we are literally an ocean away from many folks who wish us harm) isn't quite so assured in this day and age with travel being easier. we learned that lesson a hard way.
i don't know that it's easy tho to say that a change in leader alone guarantees anything-we're still the united states, and many still wish us ill. by the same token, i think everyone is as sick of bush as we've become, so at this point anything is an improvement.
the change by bush to pre-emptive strikes was a mistake. that doesn't mean sit and wait for a 9/11 attack, but certainly going across borders into syria and pakistan without those govts approval has got to stop.
