This is true. The one point does not explain things domestically.
What does explain things domestically is a huge increase in Oil prices. The reason: China's booming economy placing higher demand for Oil consumption and resources.

Increase in Oil prices means an increase in Gas prices. Increase in Gas prices means an increase in Food prices. Trucking companies are charging the Grocery stores more for delivery. Many private trucking companies are closing-up shop.
Yeah but we are talking about Bush not China.Would you agree that Bush is a lousy president?

Well Tricky, true 4000 and lots wounded died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
China just had an Earthquake that killed 50,000+ people. Many of the Chinese bloggers stated the government had ample warning signs to this Earthquake, but did nothing at all.
Some were even threated to be arrested because of "speading rumors" by the Chinese government.
You could almost blame China's government for killing thousands (or letting them be killed as no warnings were issued, no evacuations or anything). Of course, only if it is true that they had some knowledge a potential Earthquake might occur.
What happens if a Democrat does get in office and thousands are killed by a Terrorist attack due to relaxed policies because of an apologetic attitude? What would you say then?
Rumor has it that a suitcase Nuclear bomb can wipe out 70,000 people in one blast. These did exist and were sold on the Black Market by Chechnyan Mafia after the cold war. They ended up missing from Russia's inventory.
So you see, there are looming threats. There has been even before Bush but nothing was done at all. A few rockets sent at Al Quaeda camps that were long cleared out during the Clinton administration. Some of the Tomahawks didn't explode and were seized by the Taliban and sold to China.
