TEACHSOC: Bush and the audience...

[Andi Stepnick]

Did anyone catch the questions from the audience from Bush's "town hall" in Ohio last week.  Here's the excerpt that caught my eye... FYI...just something to point out to students, perhaps. "President Bush, I'm a professional firefighter here in Wheeling, West Virginia. And back during 9/11, I lost over 300 of my brothers in New York. And I was glad that you were our President at that time and took the fight to the terrorists. But as I see you, I said earlier about the guy in Afghanistan that is going to convert to Christianity, he may get killed over there for doing that. Do you have an army of sociologists to go over there and change that country, or are you hoping that in a couple decades that we can change the mind-set over there?"
