I actually believe that bush is staving off the defeat that would occur if he were not taking the war to the enemy and trying to change the culture of the islamic world. It's a decayed, horrific culture that has produced nothing of value (except the suicide bomber). In essence america being willing to take on this terror directly instead of pulling back and trying to defend the indefendable (the us) is the best course. He could draw back and dis-engage from the world, inspect every cargo container. Do we think that would appease the terrorists? Not until they had re-established their prior islamic empires.

Pull out of the middle east and watch saudia arabia fall with only israel surviving ( assuming we continued to support israel, as many feel that this is the root cause of all of the unrest). What makes anyone think that once the greatest military on earth is humbled and pulls back, that the islamists will stop there. There's is a quest for world domination.

George Bush (like Reagan) will be seen as one of the greatest presidents in US history, unless the left manages to defeat the US again as they did in vietnam.
