so if the enemy of your enemy is your friend and the friend of your enemy is your enemy it comes down to this do we think we can defeat them? or must we appease them and who is best suited for those tasks

Hey Jorj, I'm sure the terrorists hate Pres. Bush, but I'll bet they would and will hate any American President. If Kerry is elected, I don't see bin laden saying, "OK, my work here is done." Furthermore, there is a line of thought that says the US military's objectives are a little unfocused right now on the general enemy of "terrorism" whereever it may lie, specifically in Iraq. A President not so thrilled about being in Iraq may pull back into a tighter focus on the guy we KNOW was behind 9/11. And finally, I just don't like the idea of deciding who to vote for based upon how Osama wants me to vote. Having said that, I guess I will admit that I too have wondered who Osama favors.

FAMILY SECURITY will be my number one thought when entering the voting booth. Which one of these two candidates will give me the best chance to protect my family? Which of these candidates will always act in the interest of our country? All this other domestic issue stuff is nothing but noise and politics in a terror-ridden world. As Elvis would say, "take care of business". Our business is national and personal security. The next four years should be focused on securing the nation. Period. People without health care and starving children is BS. No one starves in this country unless they make a personal choice to buy a bottle of Old Overcoat versus some food. People starve in Ethiopia. City and county generals provide free emergency medical care. People die lying on a dirt path in the Sudan don't have medical care. And the environment will survive another four years without endless dollars being wasted on unnecessary "hug a tree" programs. There is ample time in the future to deal with these and other domestic issues. Sometimes, certain issues must be moved to the back burner. This is one of those times. End of rant.
