I obviously didn't vote for Bush in '2000 based on his steadfastness in fighting the War on Terror. I voted for him because I believed he had the values to pick the right people to surround him and was a man of truthfulness and tenacity.
The USA got lucky.
[I hope Bush continues to do what he apparently has been doing

Ironically, if we had elected a democrat, we would not have all these complicated national security issues today. We would have likely made some massive air strikes and call the situation resolved. I am not sure what would have happened after that, but I would be willing to bet we would have our head in the sand today debating such trivial matters as gays in the military and emmissions ratings of SUVs.
The democratic response to such tragedy is a show of force to the world to let them know we still have the capability immediately followed by acceptance, understanding and then some appeasement. The world would be a much different place today had we elected Al Gore, John Kerry, Howard Dean, etc.
I only wonder how it would be different.
Lucky, and with enough people with sense like yours . . .
