This guy taught Ethnic Studies my freshman year. He has a Ph.D. He's been teaching for more than 20 years.

99% of College Professors are nutjobs, so in all likelihood, I say yes.

LOL!
Good thing you don't think 100%, because you'd have to get off the web. It was invented by someone who is currently a professor.

I thought the inventor of the internet is a former Vice President, not a professor. If so, that one is a nut.

1. I was talking about the world wide web, not the internet
2. Al Gore never said he invented the Internet.

Yep.

Thing I really hate about these arguements is that they give Bush's supporters a handy strawman to attack so they can ignore more legitimate critisisms (that he failed to take terrorism very seriously until 9/11, that he exploited it ruthlessly for political gain, that he implied - though never directly claimed, nonetheless intentionally misled - the public into linking the attacks with Iraq, etc).

Please don't lump all Bush supporters into one pile.  I have never posted here (nor do I feel) that Saddam Hussein had known about al-Qaeda's plans for 9/11 prior to the attack. 

I have also criticized the prior administration for it emphasis and response to prior terrorist attacks.  If you want to say that there was no major anti-terror effort in the first 8 months of the Bush administration, I'll agree (though they were in the planning stage).  I'll add that there was no effective anti-terror policy in the prior 8 years of the Clinton administration.  The difference was that Bush, prior to 9/11, was moving more quickly in that direction.

I've also tried to draw a distinction between the Democrats and the Loony Left on this site.  You'll note that I've not referred to you as the latter.

Loony left according to J.J. = 940 heads and 60 tails being statistically significant.

There's a lot more potential Al-Qaeda recruits in Iraq now than there was prior to invading.

Not at all. In fact they're having recruiting problems.

Umm, that's the US military that is having the recruiting problems.
