I think we should have expected more from our leaders than to push that agenda as they did.
To have so much military might, there is always a temptation to use it. But if our leaders had been more responsible, had not spun all the facts and been so intent on starting a war, we would have been in far better shape. That's what our leaders are supposed to do, right? Make decisions that benefit the country, not harm it right? That's what they are elected to do. But sometimes you get bad leaders who make bad decisions. On that basis alone - extracting us from two wars, I can like this president. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wgm4u wrote: > > > I admit I was FOR the war in Iraq much like MOST of the country at the time.
