Well, I feel you are completely wrong. I don't want to go back and forth, no point to that. But, I disagree, Bush has done a very good job. I don't like the over spending and trying to appease the left, but he has kept us safe from attacks. I think he's been a strong leader, and history will see that.

Judging from the comments on this thread, it seems the left is much further left than I thought.
Mandatory service to the government... hey what's wrong with the loss of freedom? I seem to remember the left up in arms about the loss of freedom we all experienced from the Patriot act (although I don't know of anyway it's affected me or anyone I know, aside from not being blown up by a terrorist).
So, I guess you are all okay with Obama wanting to take your freedom, I guess that's why you voted for him.
I am not for mandatory service, and I'm a 'leftist.'
I am for a provision that prohibits a president from starting a war without personal sacrifice - I've proposed this before, and it surely would never go anywhere but... it would work something like this: if Bush thought Iraq such a wonderful idea, then the price to pay for that call is resignation. If he feels strongly that it is a good idea for the country, resign. And I strongly suspect we never would have gone anywhere near Iraq.

What if you could only declare a war against a country that had not overtly attacked you if you could fully fund the war. For example - Afghanistan was complicit in the 9/11 attack so that war is 'ok', but Iraq had not actually done anything but rattle sabers so that war could not be waged unless it could be fully funded - as in the citizens are willing to raise taxes to pay for it. If you are willing to raise taxes then go to war - fine - otherwise no war?
I'll bet if you had to raise taxes before going to war there would be fewer wars - again, before anyone starts slamming me, remember I said wars against countries that had not overtly attacked us.
