If the goal is to have 30% of the US population behind the misguided plans of the current administration, then, to coin a phrase "Mission Accomplished", plus 3 percentage points. If the goal is to be a responsible member of the world community (sort of a talk the talk/walk the walk kind of behavior), we are way of base, at least as I see it. W's actions in the Middle East have only served to enhance the disdain which many of those already felt towards the US and other western nations (misguided though I believe that is).

Also, I don't think illegal immigration is the only problem to be solved.

While I do not feel that anyone on this forum feels that we as a country are trying to be an irresponsible member of the foreign community, OUR responsibility, and the responsibility of the President of the United States is to lead the country in the manner best for the UNITED STATES, and not the world community.

Hopefully it ends up being the best for both worlds but he did not run and become elected President of the world community.

You may feel that its misguided but there are others in this great country who feel differently. Be sure to vote in the next election and make your feelings known. The last two times the voters let their voice be known and thats the reason we have had the same person in the oval office for two terms.
