No would dare bomb us with him in charge (oh yeah, I forgot they already did on his watch).

oklahoma (not arab, still a terror attack), trade center (twice), USS cole... very very minimal retaliation made them bolder... clinton was handed osama bin laden and said no thanks, so they let him go... hmm, no thanks.
bush on science - I personally believe scientific positions should be chosen by merit, not political affiliation... bush disagrees, and he's replaced many positions with people that will support his dogma (ie, he makes a decision and they figure out a way to spin data to support it.. not very objective), that's what happened to stem cells, all the drilling/de-foresting stuff... i could find more specific examples if you want, but every time i go through some of the sh*t thats gone down i get kinda pissed off... Kerry doesn't promise to be any better on science, but it'd be hard to top what's already happened.
and btw, i think banning things like stem-cells and cloning before we even know what the really are is dumb... cause the rest of the world doesn't care about our ban (ie china which has opened a lot of labs since they found out the US gov isn't going to give money for such research to US schools)... and it could definately bite us in the arse... its not just science, eventually its economy too...
