I don't think Saddam was capable of making his homeland better. We took him out and now Iraq is free. The people are showing how much they enjoy freedom by the mass ammount of Iraqis at the polls in January.

I think the goverment does concentrate on the American people. The main thing they are concentrating on now is our safety. Lets not encounter another day like 9/11. Our brave troops are fighting terrorism so we can better ourselves in the future by preventing terrorist attacks and ensure the safety of you and I.

Yes we have seen many goverment programs not being funded. Could it be that the goverment for decades has been using our Social Security money to pay for programs and we are just noticing how much of a problem this has caused???Bush has had a lot to deal with during his term in office.

I'm almost sure that If 9/11 never happened, we wouldn't be debating like this on these boards.
