No joke. 9/11 made Bush realize that the nature of warfare had changed, and Bush radically departed from previous strategy. The US is now much more pro-active and pre-emptive.
In today's world, the right technology in the wrong hands allows a small group of terrorists to obliterate a US city. Bush makes that scenario less likely by fighting the SOURCE of that terrorism, lawless foreign regimes such as Iraq, which previously tried to assasinate US President George H. W. Bush.
Clinton had plenty of clues, such as the US embassy bombings, but he never acted.
