Well, I haven't seen the ad, but I don't see it as exploitation, I see it as stating a fact. No matter who's elected as President, I see one of their top jobs as protecting the country from another such event. It's not just a trivial occurrence that is being taken advantage of because we happen to have an emotional photo -- 9/11 was the greatest challenge that our country faced during the course of Bush's presidency. How he dealt with that challenge *is* crucially important.

To put it another way: For me, it's a key issue to note that since 9/11, there *hasn't* been another such (successful) attack, even though there have been multiple threats of such, and multiple attempts.

If people are going to blame Bush for everything that goes wrong, then I believe that they should also give him credit for some of the things that go *right*. And say what you will, we haven't had another 9/11 while on his watch.

Don't get me wrong: There are plenty of things that I dislike about Bush -- but as far as his passion for national security, I agree with him and think he'd still be a good leader. The question for me as to who I vote for though, is whether all the things that I *disagree* with him on are going to outweigh the things that I agree with.
