If our government does what is best for the country, who cares how other governments interpret the message?
Bush's sentiments are too P.C. for me -- in this instance.
In almost all other issues, I support our President. But I won't support him blindly.
The Democratic Party got this country into real trouble, by giving in completely to Clinton and not calling him on his mistakes. Our country paid a big price.
I am proud of the Republican majority who is not giving President Bush a free hand. Our leaders don't need a constituency made up of "yes" men; our leaders need our constructive input (whether they want it or not).
And this issue will be forgotten quickly, just like most issues. At least by most of the American public.
Politically it was just not the right time.
