I do not see how you can blame the democrats. It sounds you do not hold the Bush Administration accountable for anything.
The seeds of the current credit crisis started after the 9/11 when the Fed relaxed credit to prop up the economy and a manipulation of the market by the financial sector.
You can argue that we have not had a domestic attack but we have lost 4000+ serviceman in Iraq (more than lost in 9/11) and 30,000 more wounded. I think that warrants some note.
