Bitter much?
No, the majority do not believe that Iraq had a direct role in 9/11. Some do, but certainly not a majority. Some people believe that today is Thursday too.
The majority do not believe that gay marriage should be banned, but enough that came out and voted in the states where it was put to a vote do.
I have voted in the past 7 presidential elections and I never felt it this was 'the most important decision of our time'. I didn't this time either. One thing is certain, there will be a new guy in 4 years. I think Bush is an honest man who is doing what he feels in his heart is the best thing at the time. Is it always right, no, absolutely not. But I wouldn't expect that from anybody. Did Clinton believe in his heart that firing missles into an abandoned tent in the desert was the best way to get at terrorists at the time, probably. He was wrong. I don't hold that decision against him (much
).
John Kerry voted to support the President in his decision to invade Iraq based on the same evidence that the president had at the time. Was the evidence faulty?, it appears after the fact that yes, it may have been. For Kerry to say now, 'I wouldn't have went in' is disingenuous and monday morning quarterbacking. IMHO, I think people saw that and lost respect for the man.
The next guy to get elected will tell us what he is going to do to make things better. He will relate that to all (or at least a majority) of the people in the entire country. Telling us what the other guy did wrong is telling us what we already know.
Anyway, I hope Bush can get us out of this Iraq mess. It seems to me that he will. I was prepared for a 3-4 year plan. I don't know if everyone else was. These things are always messy and the best plan is a fluid plan. Quelling the rebels and holding elections will accomplish a lot. With best wishes for the next four years.......
