There’s more to running an administration than showing persona or arrogance. Remember the saying, “It is easier to criticize than to advise.” Sen. John Kerry is trying to make the president’s administration look bad because his own track record doesn’t look good. The president probably doesn’t do well in confrontations because he’s such a gentleman.

It is obvious that Osama was behind Sept. 11. But Saddam Hussein was more of a threat to his own people, his neighboring countries and the world. He was mass-murdering and creating a force and arsenal. He was a weapon of mass destruction.

Hitler did not invade us, but peace had to be restored in the world. Was that a wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time? Consider the leadership, intelligence, judgment and foresight it takes for such decisions.

The real reason why jobs started and are going overseas is because of the incessant demands of the unions that forced our businesses to give into these extreme demands, making it no longer possible to compete with overseas markets.

The occurrence of Sept. 11 cost us many loved ones, and was a substantial setback to our country. Why blame the president?

It seems that Kerry, in shame of bashing a man who will be remembered as standing up for what is right, that he, should go hide behind a Bush.
