IMO, we needlessly created circumstances that foster car bombs and suicide bombers, so it is us.
As for the accusation that we underreport civilian deaths, isn't it a shame that the Bush administration has no credibility? When Ashcroft made his announcement yesterday claim that our law enforcement people foiled a scheme to bomb a shopping center, I did not believe a word he said. And don't think that I am alone. It doesn't matter whether you call it incompetence, dishonesty, or a combination of those two, pronouncements from this administration are either disbelieved or discounted by many people in this country and abroad.
