I feel like we are an open target for terrorism. I also feel like we have put other countries at risk for terrorism attacks.

Yes. The citizens of the US are most definitely more of a target now than in previous years... and so is any country that doesn't lock-step with Bush.

I was between less safe and ineffective. He has definitely stirred up antipathy towards the American government among the global population, but I don't know any terrorists so I can't say what they think of it other than they probably don't like it either.

Interestingly, though, I think how the TSA has stepped up security in airports has helped, except with their stupid liquids rule. As one of my all-time SNL skits pointed out, "What's to stop a bunch of terrorists from having a bunch of one ounce bottles and then meeting up on the plane?"

Anyways, the "War on Terror" however I believe is a war of false pretenses, and isn't helping terrorism so...

That's my reasonings.

Although I picked "Not Affected" I actually cannot tell except when I go to airports & see the mega-huge security actions going on. I don't know whether to feel safer or not. It's a pity though.........that people feel screwed on these issues. But that's war time, false pretense or not. Forget the "Political Correctness" bullshit! It's all nonsense to me anymore.

All of our men (and some women) are off fighting off in Iraq so who's going to be there to protect us if a random attack occurs? also, thousands of soldiers are getting killed like crazy for basically no reason. good job asshole Bush

We might be safer from terrorists over seas, But how long Until Americans are tired of putting up with this shit and start fighting back against the government violently? That is what we need to be worried about right now.
