Well, I guess that is another way to look at things.
And whether we believe in this war or not, and whether
or not we believe in what President Bush does or does
not, is what makes us very fortunate. Fortunate that
we live in a free country, a democracy. A country
where we all have the right to have an opinion. And a
country which is welcoming to people of all
nationalities. This is why I am proud to be an
American. God Bless America, our troops, and the
people in the Middle East.
Thanks.
