I, too, agree with Koch. I don't believe that any of the Democrats could succesfully execute the War on Terror, and for me right now, that is priority number one. I am now willing to accept that Iraq may not have posed an imminent threat, but I still support the war, based on Saddam's track-record, and on the fact that Iraq could still harbor terrorists. And even though we haven't found Osama yet, I'm not sure if it matters anymore. Al-Qaeda has taken on a more formless shape now, and Osama provides nothing except perhaps a rallying figure hidden in the shadows. He is no longer the fearless leader of a powerful organization; his role is now uncertain, and because of that it may not be important to catch him. I would certainly love to, of course, to see that he comes to justice for the actions that he has taken. But we now have more important targets in the War on Terrorism. And I think Bush is the right person to lead us in this war.
