that being said, Bush could have scored some points last night by accepting responsibility for this catastrophic event, by virtue of the fact that it happened on his watch. i recall Reagan accepting responsibility for the terrorist bombing deaths of 241 Marines in Beruit in the 80's, and he looked good doing it.
it's the stand-up thing to do

Almost never will a Government or government figure accept responsibility for either 9/11 or any other attack or disaster regardless of the scope or reasoning for it happening. It would open the government up to huge Lawsuits by every tom, dick, and harry. The Government has and always will be virtually immune to lawsuits unless there is a scapegoat.
