- Did he celebrate too soon? Yes, I'll give you that.
well we agree on somthing. In celebrating too soon, Bush embarassed himself and the nation and insulted the troops that were and are still fighting and dying there.

If you had been told all your life that grass was purple, can we fault you for not knowing any better, or those that gave you the info.
who hired his advisors? I can't beleive that a better President would have gone in there with such little proof. And I can't accept that the President isn't reponsible at least in part for the mess. And again he came off looking like a moron. And proof that he really wasn't going to war for oil please.

please name the countries that are in Iraq with us(other than England). And we did not work the U.N. We need to try harder somtimes we need to compromise somtimes. We need to stop this go it alone approach. More effort should have been made to cooperate with U.N. to resolve the Iraq crissis

- How many of those attacks have been inside the US, or even in US territories?
the point is, not enough effort was gone into to catch him. And even though there have been no attacks on US soil since 9-11, There still have been attacks, innocent people have died . And how long before another attack is carried off here? And I know they are still find Nazi guards, but the point is athought some are still free, that have atleast been put out of business. Can you say the same for the terrorists groups?

Glass half empty, or half full?
If I fill the glass, then take a sip from it, are you looking at how much I filled it or how much more there is now than there was when it was half full/empty?
not exactly understanding what you meant here, please explain more clearly.

Unfortunatly we can't. Most people don't consider 'wardrobe malfunctions' to be serious problems in light all the other problems we face. And the only way to solve excessive movie violence is censureship thus violating the 1st amendment. And how mush violence in movies is too much? and who desides? politcal mudslinging goes way back and the
Republicans sling just as much mud as do the Demicrats. Finally we can expect terrists attacks untill we get leadership that nows how to effectively deal with. Bush doesn't. Will Kerry? we'll see, I am ready to give him the chance.
