He immediately withdrew the U.S. from the Middle East peace talks - they were too Clintonesque.

He misled the country or, at the very least, was in charge while a major mistake was made, taking us to war with Iraq on the basis of weapons of mass destruction. No WMDs, no link to al-Qaeda. Troops and money were taken from Afghanistan, where the real terrorists were. More than 1,000 Americans are dead, countless others are wounded, and an unknown number of Iraqis are dead or wounded. Oops.

He alienates our traditional allies with his pseudo-macho "bring them on" attitude.


I have just one question: Why would anyone vote for him? Christine Dorsey. richmond.

George W. Bush is fond of saying the President's first job is to protect America. Well, the worst failure of that job in our lifetime happened on his watch - and he could have prevented it. The Clinton administration had made al-Qaeda a top priority and warned Bush about the organization. Terrorism experts tried to make it a priority with Bush, but he was not interested. Bush's advisers blocked numerous efforts that might have prevented 9/11. Even on the day it happened, Bush was still oblivious until well after the second tower fell. In the business world, a failure of that magnitude would mean being fired on September 12.

As a young man, Kerry faced war head-on, became a leader, and made life-saving decisions under fire. Bush partied, hid from the bullets, and avoided responsibility. Two vastly different choices decades ago show the true characters of both men. Bush is still incapable of focusing on and dealing proactively with real issues. One 9/11 is one too many, and we are not safer now. Bush did not do his job this time; he cannot be trusted with this nation's security for another four years. William R. Melton. richmond.
