<<PS...you forgot to list the whole opinion, written 2 months after 9-11>> The part I listed was relevant to the topic at hand i.e. one of the reasons behind the protests against war that isn't the condoning of Sadam's atrocities!!! Also, 9-11 had nothing to do with Iraq.....if you know different I'd love to see the evidence. MON disclaimer......the last sentence above does not mean that the author condones terrorism. It is simply a statement to make a point. Although the author did protest the war he specifically points out that he doesn't condone the atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein. The author is also not anti-semitic, loves baseball, drives a Chevrolet, is partial to the odd slice of apple pie, is not yet an American citizen but loves this country more than most will ever know.

There needs to be a reminder of the overriding duty of the President of the United States of America. For those who forgot, those who didn't know, and those that don't care. The oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution: The Presidential Oath of Office I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. GWB takes this oath very seriously. There is nothing that will stand in the way of his defending and protecting our nation. That is his sole obligation under the law, and he promised to do so when he took the Presidential Oath of Office. The judgement he uses to come to decisions on how best to go about fulfilling that promise is up for debate, and that is all. If you are an American citizen, and you feel that GWB isn't doing his job legally then you can petition congress. If there is sufficient proof to your allegations congress can appoint a committee that will in turn investigate these allegations. If the president is found to be breaking the law he could face a congressional trial for impeachment. M
