anything but since 9-11. Going back to what we DO need: A strong leader who
understands that we were the victims when the twin towers fell, and regardless
of the political climate leading up to the terrorist act, 3000 people (INNOCENT
AMERICANS) died at the hands of people who now must pay the price. You can't
reason with groups/nations who cooperated for that terrorism and continue to
associate for more of these acts. There's no negotiating or reasoning with any
of them---it's time to exterminate the people responsible and destroy the places
they train and the nations who harbour them. It's now about survival.
Domestically, I think President Bush inherited a recession and has taken steps
to slowly get us out of that. Also, he was met with 9-11 and in my view, acted
appropriately to try to disrupt the terrorists' plans for more attacks. There
were compelling reasons to remove Saddam from power and I think it was
justified, though I agree that the post victory occupation has been more
difficult than the administration thought it would be---however, Kerry seems to
be the quintessential Monday morning QB on every damn issue he talks about. He
reminds me of the Brett Favre commercial when (AFTER THE FACT) he talks about
how he would have done things differently. Now of course, BEFORE the fact, you
didn't hear from him and in fact he voted with the President---but afterwards,
he's identified where things could have gone better and NOW claims how he would
have done it differently. Not only is this annoying, but it's also dangerous in
a leader. You need someone who is clear about where he stands, his plans and
his vision. Someone who is stable and sincere. For the most part, I think we
have that in Bush, and clearly we would NOT have that with his main opponent.
But to get back to what started this all, and turned JQ's site into a political
show, the men and women serving deserve our deepest gratitude, and by all means,
they have mine. Yes, we can all be patriotic and disagree on whether to go to
war or not---but to the man on this board who has a son over there now, I say
that he IS fighting for something important. Your son is part of an effort that
if it goes well, will change the balance in the Middle-East---will give
democracy to millions of people who have suffered---will end up, in the very
long run, giving us a better world. None of this could ever be accomplished
without your son and his units laying it on the line. With our prayers, please
let him return safely. Know that he IS there for a noble reason. These people
are the best our country has, and he's one of them. |

that Bush and Cheney show better leadership qualties than either Kerry or
Edwards but although I will not be voting democratic this time, I will not vote
republican either for reasons I have that I don't want to clutter up this page
too much with.Kerry and Edwards show poor leadership qualtites by voting
yes to give authority for Bush to go to war with Iraq when it appeared it was
the popular thing to do but then saying they would not have voted that way when
the public is getting a little uneasy with how the war effort is going. It is
as if they are playing politics with national security and it is too important
an issue for anyone to do so. I agree with Senator Miller, who spoke at the
republican convention that our party's leadership has lost touch with what is
important.I am still going to remain a democrat but I am still waiting
for a strong democrat like Truman or F. Roosevelt, or even JFK but Kerry and
Edwards aint it.One thing we agree on is we want our troops to get home
safely and while initially I was against our going into Iraq once the decision
was made to do so, the debate was over and we needed to and still need to get
behind our troops and our president regardless of what party he is
from.GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY MAY BE SERVING!|

When the hell did I criticize Nixon ? I was only joking around on the
fact that I liked very much a TV series named "family ties" in which there
was Michael J. Fox who played a Republican namedAlex P. Keaton. I don't know
very well what Nixon did. I'm Italian and I was really very young when Nixon was
