Not to mention the chance of you actually being able to accomplish anything within 6 months.  i love this!

The same goes for their opinion on the economy. When the economy is failing, it usually barely is at all. We haven't had a real depression since the Great Depression. Recessions here and there, yeah. But we make a big deal about it because we are Americans and we deserve better than to have a dip in the economy. And it's not our fault that it's happening, nor should we do anything about it.
This country is made by the people, for the people. If you want to change it, you CAN, and you SHOULD. It certainly wouldn't be a first. Write your representatives a few letters. I have. Put your money into lobbying organizations that you believe in. I do.
Oh and, on the War in Iraq. First of all, it's not a new war. The Gulf War that the first Bush started did not officially end. A cease fire was declared and there had been conflicts filling up the ENTIRE time period between the beginning of that cease fire until it was ended in 2003 by President Bush.
Secondly, I don't necessarily agree with what went on there either. I kind of wish I knew more about it because, honestly, from what I have been told it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. However, I feel as though it would be a stupid move for any President to be totally up front and honest about his strategies and knowledge about the enemy publicly. I don't LIKE that, but I UNDERSTAND it and I support it if it will protect my skin. For that reason I believe there is much more to the situation in Iraq than we currently know about. But either way, I'm not going to cry over spilled milk. We are at war, and pulling out of Iraq would put approximately 30yepercent of the world's currently tapped oil in GREAT danger. Which in turn puts the ENTIRE WORLD in danger.
So take the troops out? I don't think so. No country who depends on oil would support leaving Iraq a power vacuum like that with so many clawed hands from all directions ready to dig in and take control of whatever they want. And what country doesn't depend on oil these days?
And just to clarify. I don't think that Bush is some kind of amazing angel who did nothing wrong whatsoever. I am just not ignorant enough to blame things on him that CANNOT POSSIBLY be his fault.

When did we start debating about whose fault it was?
There's no point saying, "it wasn't Bush". |
