I have a nephew in the Army and they found yet another mass grave with about 80 bodies of men, women and children back in October. We have built schools where there once were none. Businesses are opening and most parts of Iraq are safe, thanks to the US and allied troops. They are training Iraquis to protect themselves.<BR/><BR/>President Bush has sent more money to Africa to aid the orphans and victims of AIDS than any other President. <BR/><BR/>He built up our military that was gutted by the Clinton administration, and will soon be gutted again by the Obama administration.<BR/><BR/>The neutering of our military (again), even bigger government, and a deficit approaching trillions of dollars isn't going to be good for the country or the future of our children. The tearing down of states's rights isn't going to be good for the country either.
