When a decision is right, you don't abandon it just because it is attacked politically, which is precisely what has happened.

I bet that's what Lyndon B. Johnson said.

If you look at the opponents of the president's policy, they're pretty much all liberals. The so-called anti-war protests are extreme left-wingers who have no credibility in important matters such as this.

You would like it to be liberals/extreme left wingers. However, you need to look closely at the crowds. Middle America is marching with the left. And some from the right are joining in. The war has not even begun and its unpopular. You best hope it ends quickly.

This is why you need a true leader -- one who doesn't shift gears because of poll results (like you-know-who did). Political support comes and goes, but the cause for war is consistent.

Bush isn't a leader........a leader brings his people together and joins with his allies to fight a common enemy. He is hardly in the mold of the great leaders of the past.......FDR, Churchill, T.R.

Wherever Bush goes there is derision, dissension, and division. That is not the stuff of great leaders.
