As a proud American I am deeply ashamed
and embarrassed that American military forces have not executed or captured Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants - During the recent Saddleback Q&A John McCain vowed that, if elected president, he would "pursue bin Laden to the very gates of Hell in order to bring him to justice." For that reason alone John McCain has my unwavering support and vote.

Seven years after 9/11 I am very disappointed in my generation (age 51) that we have let down my childrens generation. Even though we are fighting the good fight by taking the war to the terrorists. We have abandoned the good fight at home. We've learned to tolerate thugs. We've consistantly lowered our academic and social standards to be politically correct. And our media is callously, and unashamedly lopsided to foster that mind set.
Eventually that lack of discipline and acceptance of the lowly will manifest.
What will we look like in another seven years?

Keith, Holden, amen on both post. We in america, in the past always raised our standards. Our unions which I am a lifetime member of two. Have ruined the auto industry, wrecked the airlines, and have lost all interest in good workers, and have focused on feather bedding and taking care of goof offs. I remember when labor unions, worried about who they were backing in elections. Now its only how far left a candidate is. Schools you either failed are passed the choice was your, now we just keep lowering the bar.
