Luckily we don't have to completely trust any one man as President in the USA because of our system of checks and balances. There are many intelligent and competant people who are there to regulate the behaviour or whims of any President since this office is not all powerful or dictatorial. Of the two choices we had last election I think Bush was the better of the two. Gore is just as much a spoiled rich boy as Bush and if Gore had won we'd still be negotiating with the Taliban and making deals with Bin Laden following 9-11. We were attacked, in large part, because of the weakness shown during the Clinton - Gore years. These ex-hippy utopeans, like Gore, believe you can reason and negotiate with fanatics. The truth is, that these wacko killers only understand one response to their antics and that is swift and violent retaliation resulting in their deaths.
I wish violence wasn't needed but some folks just don't understand anything less. I've had to kick some ass in my day with school bullies who were too stupid and violent to negotiate a "peaceful settlement" and only laid off after I stomped them into submission. Luckily I'm a big guy with the power to create a peaceful environment for those too stupid to understand the advantages of peace and cooperation. I'm a reasonable person who knows when to use the force I was born with. The USA is powerful but generally reasonable otherwise the rest of the world would be our slaves since we had nukes first. The rest of the world doesn't want to believe that but it's the plain truth. For all the crap we take from the ungrateful back stabbers we feed, cloth, educate, and defend around the world I think we've been more than reasonable and restrained. I don't agree with everything our government does but killing a murderous thug like Saddam who doesn't have the compasion and good sense to step down and save his own people ( and himself) the misery of an invasion will not keep me awake at night. All politicians suck, but Bush is hardly the stupidist or meanest ever seen in this world. Considering the mess the whimps Clinton and Gore left him I think Bush has done a pretty good job. When the Socialist/Commies are done destroying the USA from within the rest of the world's cry babies will wish we were still around as they eat their bread rations in a forced labor camp.
