It is chilling. He may have found the Damascus road, the wolf is coming at the door, and if Bush is gone, we will have Kerry who will not cry wolf, but "lets try appeasement".

...we will have Kerry who will not cry wolf, ...

John-john will say they would try Scoobie Snacks...

What a couple of a$$holes... this time for real and for certain.

Bush may be an a$$hole as well on a private level. I've never met him and neither am I likely to so I am underqualified to make that determination. Accept for a few rather unConservative, unConstitutional things he's done... he's been a damn sight better President than Klinton was. He'll be a damn sight better President than Kerry or Nader would be.

That does not mean there isn't a lot of room for improvement.

He says, and one hears it from the East Coast Establishment constantly, both the DDims and the blue blod Republicans His arrogance led him to offend the very allies whose participation would have enabled us to win not just the war but the peace. What is not considered is why our "allies" are so opposed to the peace that we are trying to establish in Iraq. I refer especially the adamantine opposition of France in Atlanta. It does seem that both France and the UN establishment are doing their level best to make our policy seem a failure so that Bush will be replaced by Kerry. If so, then we will see a flurry of gestures of support for the new president until the hard realities of the differences between what is good for us and what is good for the Europeans clash. No amkuint of appeasement by Kerry is going to keep this from happening, and it will not be good for the United States.

When I ask Democrats what they would have done after 9-11, most of them don't answer.

I've told them that Bush would have been condemned if he did nothing, and he is being condemned because he did something.

They all agree with that assessment. They just shake their heads and say that I am right.

Now, there are other issues that people disagree with the president on, but the democrats aren't championing those causes. Outsourcing and open borders to name a few. In the Bay Area of California, there are lots of debates about those issues. Neither the republicans or the democrats are doing anything about it.
