Thanks, Mr. President
Well, this makes me feel somewhat better.
President Bush declared on Tuesday that he wouldn't be deterred by global protests against war with Iraq, saying "I respectfully disagree" with those who doubt that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace.
He said such a war remains a final resort, but "the risk of doing nothing is even a worse option as far as I'm concerned."
A very salient point that seems to be lost on the anti-war set...recent history shows us the dangers of doing nothing.
Bush said that the size of the protests against a possible U.S.-led war against Iraq was irrelevant.
"Size of protest, it's like deciding, 'Well I'm going to decide policy based up on a focus group.' The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon the security — in this case — security of the people."
It's so nice to have a leader for a change.
