MoveOn.org claims that Bush is doing precisely that. In an e-mail letter to its members MoveOn is suggesting that supporters write letters to the editor of their local newspapers expressing disappointment in the president's decision to exploit 9/11 for "partisan political gain."
And what were the attempts by democrats to make Bush all but a co-conspirator in the aftermath? Yes, we have a soaring deficit, so did FDR! He's widely regarded as a saint by the liberal democrats. Do they forget that we are still in the midst of a war? I suppose they will next try to say it should all be over by now. And then, they'll try to say Bush lied about how long it was going to take. (I beleive he said it would probably be going on for at LEAST tento fifteen YEARS! It will take that long to root out the evil that has roots in dozens of countries. In Viet Nam, we allowed the enemy to operate unopposed in North Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia (at least for a time). they had a safe place to retreat to to regroup, and escape persuit. We know what happens when you set rules in a conflict that only apply to yourself, eventual defeat! We need to show these terrorists that we will go where we have to and hunt them down. We need to show the countries that harbor them that we will invade if they don't turn them over. We most especially need to show the world that we will not just lose intrest and go home, but will say what we mean, and do what we say! Then, and only then, will we get the respect we have earned, and be allowed to live in peace and safety.
