When I saw the photos of Giuliani, Cheney and Pataki, relaxing, smiling, one holding a tub of popcorn, at a ball game in Yankee stadium, I thought, Look how far we've come since September 11, when it seemed like we would never be able to smile again.

It's thanks to our great leaders that we CAN smile again. If Kerry would have been Pres., he wouldn't have looked at the good that came out of what happened, and raised America up again, but we'd still be in that very dark place.

And think of the people in Iraq and Afghanistan who now, thanks to the Pres. and our troops, will have that kind of freedom--to sit out in the open wtih friends and watch a sporting event and eat popcorn.
