res- The truth is, we are in the worst position economically and in national security that we've had in decades. Failure to face that means "more of the same" for the next two years, and possibly increasing disasters at home. That is not the truth. We were far more vulnerable before 9/11 then we are today. We have Osama's organization on the run. And contrary to the gloom and doom left who said we would take heavy casualties and inflict mass starvation on innocent Afghans if we went after the terrorists, neither one has happened. Bush's team of military strategists has implemented an outstanding war plan, which resulted in the destruction of the Taliban in record time, with minimum casualties. There is hope in a nation here-to-for filled with terrorists, where for decades there was none. Economically we are recovering. Bush's tax cuts are having a positive effect, and our businesses are increasing productivity at an astounding rate. Facing your truth is facing a lie. We have a difficult road ahead, but we're certainly not in a gloom and doom spiral with no light at the end of the tunnel. Pessimism has always ruled the left's mental images of our future. That pessimism to me is anti-American. America has a challenge ahead, but america is ready and able to meet that challenge as long as we're united. Divisiveness, of the kind practiced by liberals on this thread, will not lesson the threat, nor will it help us deal effectively with the challenges ahead. That's where the logic of your mental model clearly breaks down. Even if everything you said were true, (which it clearly is not in my eyes), how does attacking our President over and over without any real solutions to offer yourself help alleviate the things you're concerned about? The truth is it doesn't.
