We do not surrender or negotiate with terrorists (liberals of course do not accept this). The world condemns Bush, but will follow the same course when met with the same challenges. I repeat, President Bush has set the tone on how to deal with terrorists. He was the right man for the right time. President Bush has set the tone.

If the USA and the western nations had unconditionally backed Israel, the assine effort to create a separate nation for the so-called Palestinians whoever they are (I believe most are Jordian radicals kicked out of that country) would not be on the international table. I blame the leftist liberal do-gooders for almost all the wrong in the world. [In his book Savage Nstion, Michael Savage calls them Red Diaper Doper Babies to which I heartily agree!!] They are a danger to everyone including themselves and should be locked up rather than running governments, businesses and schools.
