As I ponder the recent events and the great task ahead of President Bush

I think of how greatful to God that GW is our President now, and that he is surrounded by wise and good men and women and I see the sovereignty of the Almighty...but...there is a little thought that sneaks into my mind once in awhile and I have to admit I truely wonder about it...what do you think would be happening to us now if Algore would have been successful at stealing the election?

I STRONGLY BELIEVE that if Gore had become president, we'd already be in WWIII or waking up in the ashes to a very tyrannical world gov.

President Bush gave a speech that was not only meant for the nation but also for the world, and overall it was an excellent speech outlining the aims of the United States to stop acts of terrorism.

President Bush called for other nations to “turn over” the terrorists, once they are caught, but his speech to all the world did not specifically indicate TO WHOM OR TO WHAT ENTITY the terrorists, or their supporters, should be surrendered for trial and a measure of justice. That is a very important question.

If the crimes or acts of war were committed against Americans on American soil, as they were on September 11th, then it is my belief that the United States has venue and jurisdiction over these individuals.

If, however, we leave this question open for others to decide, then we may find that justice will be doled out in some international court, such as the ICC, the International Criminal Court, or some other court of the United Nations.

I do not believe that the past record of the United Nations has brought much “peace” or much “justice” and I would be reluctant to even recognize the United Nations as the entity to assume any role in the acts committed on September 11, 2001 in New York City and Washington, DC.

Again, President Bush and his speech writers overlooked a point that deserves specific clarification, for at this juncture we are not sure of just who is involved and who is supporting these terrorists. The vicious attacks were made against Americans on American soil, and that is important to remember.
