The obvious things are the air safety and fiscal stimulus bills. Time is of the essence in both, but Bush can't push bipartisan bills because he is afraid of the Republican right wing.

The key to the economy's recovery is the confidence of the American people. I don't think Ashcroft's pronouncements that we are at war to support his moves to set aside civil courts inspires confidence.

I don't think that drilling in Alaska is an anti-terrorism move, but the Republican's are pushing that logic.

I don't think now is the time to unilaterally reduce our nuclear arsenal. It should be bilateral via negotiations and treaty. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. Putin and Russia are not our friends. Russian criminality created Bin Laden.

The Bush Middle East policy was no policy until the attack and now it is a stupid policy to appease our perceived Arab allies. Again, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. With respect to the people of Egypt, Syria, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, Bin Laden might have the moral high ground above those countries leaders. Certainly, he has the support of the people. Bush and Powell are pushing peace talks between Israel and the Palestine Authority, but they completely ignore the Clinton/Barak peace offer and Arafat's rejection of it. Why start talks if the best offer has already been rejected and was seen as a reason to increase the level of violence?
