It’s 9/11/2008. This is a notable date not only for it’s significance in history. This is the last 9/11 that President Bush will be in office. He has been with us so far ever since the terrorist attacks. This attack has become what President Bush’s time in office is all about. It has been what he has been criticized for in these current presidential elections and what the country has supposedly disapproved of for most of his second term.
But I would like to consider the alternative. I’ll admit I don’t understand or know as much as I could or should about this war in Iraq. But ultimately I appreciate President Bush’s action to do something! He didn’t leave our country’s wound untended. He sent that manpower to regain control and show that our country will stand up for itself. Life has an order to things. Each organization has a purpose. The purpose of our government and our president is to provide us with a cemented base that we as the people can stand on and be proud of. As a country consisted of fifty states with their own governments and laws we don’t need a federal government to run everything for us. We can do that on our own. But we do need them to tend to our international associations and present a strong front to the rest of the world.
So thank you President Bush for have the integrity and the manhood to take all the crap and still do what you see as best.

AMEN! I saw him on the news the other night and was thinking about this all and got the overwhelming desire to just give him a hug. He has been through so much and I'm glad it wasn't me dealing with it all!
YES! I totally agree with you. I admire that man, and am so glad he was our President at this crucial time in our nation.
Hi Joe & Angie. I just wanted to say that I feel like the most horrible friend because I haven't called you guys back yet : (. I have been meaning to, but I really have been busy and Karl has been gone a lot as well. The fire season is pretty much over now, so things will soon be back to normal : ). Anyway, we still really want to hang out with you guys! I will call you soon!
Thanks for that. It's exactly how I feel. He wasn't perfect, but what president ever has been? He has shown grace and dignity.
I worry about how our next president will handle situations such as 9/11. But you already know my political opinions about that.
McCain 08!
