Terrorists must like Republicans best

Regarding the Oct. 28 letter, “How would terrorists vote?”: Let's see who would best serve terrorists' goals. How about a Republican-controlled government that did nothing to prevent Sept. 11, 2001, has not stabilized the real target (Afghanistan), has not captured enemy No. 1 and did a “cut and run” to invade Iraq where there was no terrorist activity? This gang also has done little to secure our borders and ports. Terrorists can set off bombs in Baghdad's “Green Zone” anytime they want in what has to be the most armed and fortified place on the planet. If that is not a loud and clear message to get our act together at home, I don't know what is. Since any political-party change must offer better homeland security, stronger counterterrorism measures and far better partnerships with allied nations, without which we will never succeed against terrorism, who would want what we have now to continue ... except the terrorists?
