David SmithIt might have been built during the Johnson Administration but it is the Bush Administration who is in power now and who is in charge of keeping Americans safe.
I mean, that is ALL I hear about the Iraq War. Bush saying that, "we are fighting them over there so that we don't have to fight them here" and his scary message that "the terrorists we are fighting must be defeated so that your children and Grand-children will be safe".
Oh yeah, what was the Republican question before the 2004 and 2006 elections, which political party makes you, as an American, feel safer??
It is funny how Laura Bush is going to Minnesota tomorrow and how the politician from Minnesota put forth a proposal today which provides more funding for the country's infrastructure. Seems a little late now.
Politicians would be well served to remember the saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pund of cure". Going to war in Iraq has done nothing but stir up MORE anti-American sentiment around the world and given the Islamic extremists a focal popint for their violence and a GREAT tool for recruiting. All the while, it just continues to keep the focus (and money) off problems that need fixing here at home.
