Geoff...let's look at how well Bush has done at those things you've mentioned.

"proactive stand against terrorism"...Our OWN intelligence agencies are now telling us that Bush's policies have created MORE terrorists and made us less safe.

"taking a stand against Iran's nukes"...When Bush came into office Iran had a reformist president and was looking at talks with the U.S. Since then they have elected a guy that's "hoping" to see the 12th Imam show up and Israel destroyed. They are currently in a rush program to enrich uranium and mocking Bush's impotence in their meetings with Putin and the Chinese.

"keeping WMD's out of rogue nation's hands"...When Bush came in N. Korea had maybe 2 nukes and they were relatively under control. Now, they probably have 6 to 12 and are readying a nuke test. On Iran...see above. Bush has just signed a deal with India that will allow them to STOCKPILE nukes (with OUR help).

"Trying to spread democracy in Iraq and the ME"...Do I really have to say anything about how THAT's workin' out.

"Removing the terror of Saddam"...Yeah, we did that. 66% of the Iraqi people now think "killing" American troops is O.K., so maybe we didn't do it quite right?

"supporting Israel"...Yeah, Bush has done that. This is JUST conjecture on my part, but I'll bet a VAST majority of the Israeli people would prefer that Bush had NEVER been elected.
