I was there and I saw the whole thing with my own eyes. You are entitled to your own opinion, of course. Many people believe what you purport, but I am not one of them. As a matter of fact, it is my personal opinion that the intense hatred by many liberals for the the current President was fostered, and is kept alive, primarily because of the imagined wrong done to you in that election that has not been 'corrected', and this 'wrong' is also the underlying reason for your unwarranted and irrational behaviour regarding the current situation with Saddam. I think your underlying motivation is "If Bush says it, I am against it, no matter what it is." The truth is that Bush was elected quite legally, and the entire fiasco would never have occurred if Gore had not challenged the law. That's a fact. I've heard nothing about the faults of the Electoral College and the entire system used to elect the President. It's obviously flawed! If I were in your shoes, that's the first thing I would be screaming about. That's what I would be protesting. I think the reason I've seen nothing about it is because the liberal politicians couldn't care less about fixing the inequities of the Electoral College so that it properly reflects the will of the voters. I am in strong disagreement with many of Bush's policies. But I can tell you this for sure: I back the President fully and completely in his foreign policy at this time. Not because he is GWB, and not because he is a Republican, but because he is the President first, and secondly because I know he is doing the right thing. Watch what happens with US/Israel relations and with US/Palistinian relations, and US relations with other leading Muslim countries in the next two years if you don't believe me. Bush has a big problem here, and he has made the decision to solve it. It's complex, but IMHO he has actually identified the underlying problem, correctly, and he is going about solving it properly. What do you think the US will find in Iraq? Do you think perhaps they will find weapons of mass destruction?
