Why is it?

Why is it that there are only a minority of Americans have any understanding and vision of what is happening in the world presently -- what the real threats to our society are -- how to support a president who has a clear and definite approach to our survival. As a Vietnam combat veteran I find it very refreshing to see in print a strike at those who have lost, or never had, a patriotic responsibility beyond watching parades on Veterans Day. Please continue to expand these thrusts into the abdomen of the Pseudo-American individuals who suffer from a mental disability that I consider a terminal illness.

For those who have no respect for this great country, I want them to leave. For the critics of our president's policies, I suggest reviewing the history of violent and aggressive societies and countries. Churchill understood those risks. Now we have a chance to change the world for the better as he predicted should and would happen. The intestinal fortitude of President Bush is remarkable, impressive, and laudable. Why is it that many do not see that?
