Spence, I find it hard to use the "most Americans think" or " 55% of Americans think".
Personally, I think most Americans are morons. 60% of Americans are overweight, many smoke cigarettes, many believe what they see on the evening news as 100% and unbiased. Most live their lives in front of the TV. I don't take public opinion as meaning any thing. Neither did our founding fathers, thats why its not the populare vote that elects our president, its the electoral college.

Eb, as far as further "invasions" ....Iraq attacked Kuwait 13 years ago, as part of their "surrender", there where mandatory inspections, mandatory no-fly zones. Iraq kicked out inspectors and randomly shot at US planes enforcing the no-fly zones. Is it okay to shoot at Americas' enforcing the UN negotiated surrender? Think about it, they shot at AMericans, that alone is justification for war in my book. Iraq then let inspectors back in, then failed to comply with the requests. There were 3 UN security council resolutions demanding Iraq comply and promising severe consequences.
All 3 times they did not meet the requirements and all 3 times no country did ANYTHING, nor did the UN. Did you guys forget about all that?
Iran and N. Korea have not invaded their neighbors nor have they violated UN resolutions. N. Korea scares me and I think its a tricky situtation.

I'm not saying Bush is the best president ever, I just believe in the path he has taken. I do not believe he has misled the country I believe he acted in what he thougt was the best course of action. I believe 9/11 is a direct result of Clinton's presidency, and the Democrats cuts in intelligence and defense spending. John Kerry is not a good candidate for President, all he does is play the Vietnam card. He is a mediocre senator with no major initiatives under his belt.
I am not a republican many of my views - pro choice, funding for the arts and familes - side with the Dems. I wish Rudy Giullani was running, I'd vote for him. He also supports Bush.
Im shutting my mouth on this topic. I cannot say I agree at all with most of your arguments but thankfully we live in a country that allows us to discuss.
