Why do you hate the idea that all people should be allowed to be free? What is Christian in your ideal that peoples should be subject to brutal dictatorships? What is Christian about your gloating over the death of Americans? What is Christian about your intolerance? We have embarked upon a nobel cause to free some of the people of the Middle East. They are grateful (at least the over 95% your liberal news won't show are). We have more obligation to the world community than a puny weak former power Girlie-Country like France. All leaders learn that leading is not always a popularity contest. People do not always want to do what is right. People often want to do what is easy. You appear to be one such person. Freeing those who are within our grasp is a higher calling than submitting to corrupt members of the coalition of the bribed and coerced. I pity you your hate. Your salvation can come at any time. I pray that you find the path. BTW - I will take your non-response to the request for evidence of Kerry's Christian ways as an admission that he does not have them.

Bush: divider still ~~ ~Bush warned that Democrats and others must work with him or be left behind. He was also unapologetic about the unpopularity of his policies in many world capitals, such as his commitment to spread democracy in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East. "Listen, I've made some very hard decisions: decisions to protect ourselves, decisions to spread peace and freedom," he said at his first post-election news conference, adding that war on terror would remain a priority. "I've earned capital in this election – and I'm going to spend it," Mr Bush said, after this week's decisive victory that made him the first president in 68 years to win re-election and gain seats in both the House and Senate. "You've heard the agenda: social security and tax reform, moving this economy forward, education, fighting and winning the war on terror," the President said. "I'll reach out to everyone who shares our goals," said Mr Bush, who 24 hours earlier had promised to try to win over those who voted for his Democratic opponent. Buoyant and relaxed today, Mr Bush cracked jokes to reporters. On serious note he said he had not decided on any changes in his Cabinet for his second term – a subject of great speculation in Washington. He took congratulatory calls from world leaders from Russia, Poland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel and Italy before flying to the Camp David presidential retreat for four days of rest after the gruelling election campaign. As US forces in Iraq mobilise for an all-out offensive in Fallujah and other Sunni militant strongholds, the President refused to say how much the war would cost or whether he planned to increase or cut troop strengths. "I have yet to hear from our commanders on the ground that they need more troops," he said. He is expected to ask Congress early next year for up to $US75 billion ($99 billion) for Iraq, Afghanistan and operations against terrorism. www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,11294130%255E1702,00.html
