Actually yes it has, by clear numbers. We were able to detain hunderds of terrorist and Taliban officials, thus making that region, and possibly ours, a little more safe. I would reckon that every country is a little more safe now because of it.
Yeah, but in all honesty, after Bush's foreign policies, Al QUaeda doesnt really have problems finding new terrorists.
Also, because the main cell of Al Quaeda, the one closest and in in direct control of Osama, has been crippeled, but the entire terrorist network, not only AQ, has become decantralised, working in smaller cells completely independant from others, thus making it harder to detect and stop them. That's whats scary, they no longer need Osama to plan the attacks, two cells can plan attacks at the same time, unaware of eachother.

What really struck me when watching Bush on CNN the other day was how poorly he actually spoke English. He spoke very slowly, took pauses where it was completely unnatural to take them, struggled not only with big words but also medium sized ones, and just didn't seem comfortable. It struck me how weird it is that that guy actually is the president of the United States.
How cool would it be if Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen) from the West Wing was president. He's the coolest PONTUS I've ever seen
Well, maybe after Bill
