I understand your frustration, but I think that President Bush is between a rock and a hard place. Example - Iraq. What seems so obvious to you and I, and the rest of the Freepers, has been lambasted by a third of Congress and the majority of the media. Imagine what would happen if he came right out and said that Islam is a sham religion and that we - America and the West - must destroy it. Hell, Congress would call for his head, the UN and the rest of the world would shun him, and his presidency would be a total disaster because the media would label him either a Christian extremist or insane. I think that even with his experience under his father, he was ill-prepared for the Senate switch. He is making speeches nearly every day, speeches that even though the media is not showing, a lot of people get to see and hear. He has a lot of work to day and I think it will take eight years to correct the eight years under Clinton.

That's right--he's being called all sorts of names in Europe even now. The Eurowussies would go crazy if he did any more than he is doing now. But after a while, they will get used to the U.S. being like this, and they'll stop complaining. Doing the right thing is considered "extremism" and "unacceptable" now--but by persisting in doing the right thing, President Bush is gradually making it normal and acceptable again.
