Time will tell. Re 9/11, do you feel safer as a result of the Bush Administration's policies? Cause I sure as hell don't.
No I cant say I feel safer. I feel the war with Iraq will be short.
Bush has to know that heavy casulties on either the civilian side or our soldiers would be devastating to him getting re-elected. With no smoking gun(nuke) found yet he is treading on thin ice.
As I mentioned earlier I would feel safer if they closed the gap on our illegal alien problem which seems to be a non issue politically for either party.

 Every day more people around the world and at home have more cause to hate and fear us, and I have yet to see anything improve with the addition of more hatred and fear, with the slight exception of Hunter Thompson's writing.
We are damned if we do and damned if we dont sometimes. I had this discussion with a close musican friend who is a conservative and was pissed we were going in. He was wanting the smokin gun and was asking would you send your child in? 
It comes down to trust. Do you trust GWB is looking out for the best interests of the US or is he concerned with Oil Money? I'm trusting that he is looking out for our best interest. Is my patience wearing thin? Yes. Would I like more information? Yes
