If Bush had been president during the Cuban missle crisis he would have blown us all to kingdom come!


I'm a Bush guy, and I respectfully disagree with a great many of your assertions. I do however think you may have a point on this one, and I would probably be looking for an alternative if this were October 1962.

Then again, if Kerry were a cold war era president all that "global testing" would have led to a distinctly crimson world map today. Reagan would probably have been asking Mr.Gorbachev to "tear down this wall!" in Montreal

The truth is however the cold war is over.

I think the cold war required a president to be much more of a statesman. In fighting global terror however, I'm goin with the cowboy.

�There�s something about this place,� he says.
And if they were here to speak, all the men who have shared this camp over the decades would answer,
�Yes, there is.�
