[Grovenet] Questions About Our Intentions in Iraq...

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Ah, but the voters who voted for the current administration are still out
there and still voting. Not all of them have had a change of heart. 

I think our experience with the current administration raises several
important questions:

1) Does it serve us to have a President so powerful he can take the nation
to war on the slimmest excuses and get away with it? 

2) How do we rebuild trust and credibility in government at all levels so
that people's first assumption is that what government is doing is ethical,
honest and in our nation's best interests?

3) What is our nation's best interest? For over 200 years that has been
"whatever makes us secure and more prosperous regardless of the cost to
other nations." Is that still true? If so, how do we continue to appropriate
whatever we need from the other nations and maintain our security? If not,
what replaces it and how do we accomplish it? (9/11 was the direct
consequence of our present policy, and no one, not even President Bush,
pretends we aren't vulnerable to another 9/11 at any time.)

Yes there are, but they should be out of office in '08.
