Responding to...

I honestly do not know why there is so much belief that simply supporting the president is helping the war on terror. If he doesn't have support and maybe feels "unloved" is he going to slack off? "Since you guys don't like me, I'm not going to try as hard."

I do not ever think (or at least hope) that this will be said from a president. Will Bush do so? Probably not.

With all due respect to veterans in all wars, is it true that America's freedoms are really being protected if the war is lost? And you wonder why they say Iraq is becoming another Vietnam.

Our handling of Iraq is not up to par. Going in there in the first place was not neccessary, but now that we are there; we'd better find a way to make it work.

John Kerry is not the Democrat that I wanted. He still is confusing to me in some ways (like I'm sure he is to many people). It may look like a gamble to some, but if what Kerry envisions has a chance to come true, America will be better off.

Responding to one of the comments on my post on the draft, I assure you that John Kerry is less likely to start a draft. He does want to add 40,000 active duty troops, but not in Iraq. He is looking to strengthen the armed forces over time in his four years in office. This could not be an immediate plan. His first day in office he will not make a push for the draft, nor will he in his term. He is looking to put more international troops to strengthen Iraq.

I am fully aware I cannot tell the future and some of these ideas maybe me alterted by me. Unfortunately, I cannot look into Kerry's mind, but from what I've been hearing, this is what I predict and hope may happen if he is to become president.

No more breeding ground of terror, please. I'd prefer a smart, thought out plan, that might actually work. Don't you? I think America might agree with those ideas.

Now...if I could just get them all to vote...
