PRESIDENT BUSHS ENOSIMANIA!
If we breach our liberties by violating the law for freedom, then we deserve neither. America is the greatest country on the face of the earth and has been endowed with Gods mighty blessings. We should not just aspire to be just better than the Saddams and Osamas of this world, but there should be a very clear transparency that people everywhere, without question, would know that America stands for liberty and freedom for all, people everywhere. Injustice anywhere can become injustice everywhere.
For me, at least, I would die for my principles than to live without them. If we torture and behave like the despots we are fighting, then we have become like them, thus, what difference can we make in this troubled world. And if that be the case, then we may very well win the battle but lose the war.
President Bush and his Republican Partys greed for mammon and power removed any decency they had left in them, when they decided to use Osama Bin Laden in their Advertisement to further terrorize the American people. This is nothing short of personate.

I am a proud veteran of Panama and the first Gulf War and I am now ashamed of my country.I had great Uncle who survived Battan two cousins who spent time in the tender care of the North Vietnameese and the one thing they all agreed on one simple fact no matter the outrage or the reasoning we did’nt lower our selfs to there standards because we were Americans and no matter what our failings have been and there have been many we at least aspired to be better and there was a line often stretched but rarely broken, you have to go back to so truly dark days to find us willingly throwing that which makes us American away so willingly and I can think no parralell to the utter mis management of a bad but winabale war into a disaster that whole world will likely spend decades paying for in blood.
