I disagree with the "mixed bag" interpretation, because on the size of government, we've been completely defeated. On federal spending, half a trillion dollar deficits, new entitlements, and new government programs & departments - we've been defeated. On illegal immigration, Bush/Frist/McCain are paving the way for amnesty and yet more illegal immigration to the tune of millions a year. You'd think wildly popular conservative legislative efforts like a constitutional amnedment protecting marriage would have at least been attempted, but I suppose the Dick and Lynne Cheney can put a stop to that for the sake of their lesbian daughter..

I disagree with the vigorous prosecution of the war, although I supported both the war in Afghanistan and Iraq...because we've done things like drop more food than bombs on Afghanistan during the onset, we've left al-Qaeda a sancturary in the Western portion of Pakistan, Iran continues just like the Koreans did while we futilely seek diplomacy after it fails over and over, and we've been largely diverted by trying to build "Islamic Democracies" with billions of our tax dollars so that we can drag backwards Middle East Countries into the 20th and 21st Century.

Wouldn't be a problem if the rest of the world was united with us to defeat international (and state sponsored) terrorism.

Pakistan and Syria not doing enough to apprehend the terrorists in their midst? Take the war to them.

The United Nations and some European nations have been exposed as being in Saddam's pocket. That should have discredited their criticisms of the US led war effort.

It's like we are in 1942 and still arguing if the Nazis pose any real threat outside of Germany.

And I oppose giving money to the Middle East. Too much wealth there already. They don't use their money wisely (it goes into the pockets of "kings"). Poverty isn't what causes their holy war (Bin Laden is a billionaire). And I'll believe we are striving for "Islamic democracies" when they accept the freedom of man to choose NOT to be a muslim.
