<<Mike - Bin Laden is no threat to our democratic institutions as he cannot beat us in a war nor dictate any changes in our form of government. >>
SoxFan. The only way a president can take away our freedoms is if the fear from an external source is greater than the fear of loss of our freedoms. We have been primed to review our need for freedom and compare it with the inherent dangers of a free and open society.
Like I said, we have given President Bush an impossible mission. We want him to lead an eclectic society through a mine field in which there are no right answers. Whatever the course of action taken there will be naysayers ready to proffer their critical review. They won't have any answers acceptable to anyone except those of similar political ilk.
George Bush didn't come into this job looking to undermine individual rights. He didn't ask Osama to kill 3000 people nor to shock a nation. It was, on the other hand, inevitable for the critics to come crawling out of the woodwork.
He also isn't responsible for any American complicity with Saddam's use of gas against Iran or the Kurds.
I have no idea why anyone would ever want to be president. George Bush isn't the right guy for the job. That guy doesn't exist. Bush was just the best one available willing to undertake the job.
Try to look past your political bias and see if you can be part of the solution rather than the problem.
