I agree with what you say. I'm just trying to look at it from the point of view of the typical, uninformed American whose main concern is who is going to be the next winner on American Idol. Like it or not, most people in this country have no idea about what is going on, other than what the anti-American media/hollywood tells them. Of course this wouldn't be as much of a problem if Bush could do a better job of explaining the necessity of any action. But as I'm sure we have all noticed, he doesn't seem either capable of, or concerned with, sufficiently making his case in such matters.
I'll agree with that and go a step further. Hillary said that she wouldn't run in 2004 and would in 2008. She implied sure knowledge without reason of what will happen in the future. Was she being a blabbermouth, or are we not running through some sort of Ford-Dole-like motion for 2008?
Can one "milk" a "male" horse? Maybe that's about to be proven for Baby Boomer politics, but I don't think the next generation will put up with as much as we have.
But then again, maybe the President's busy. Maybe he'll soon give an address to us from a secured Iran.
