Bush is far from perfect, and even his administration's leadership through this recent military venture is no guarantee of his reelection, just as his father's relative success in Kuwait did not garner him the support needed for a second term. Americans will be watching Bush on a number of other matters, including the Mexican border issue, domestic security and Republican leadership in rolling back the expiring Democratic *Assault weapons* ban that neither reduced crime nor provided Americans with better access to Homeland security equipment. We shall see.
However, probable future support of Bush at least lets us avoid the specter of the Democrats slipping in something along the lines of the following scenario, unthinkable now, but all too-possible during the Clinton era.
We need to do better than this. Much better.
