President George W. Bush is preparing for war with Iraq. Before he goes to war he has to address the issue with Congress and with NATO. My opinion is that we should go to war with Iraq and Saddam Hussein. He has been in power for a while and continues to pose a threat to the world. Sadda...

I feel that the State of the Union Address was filled with omissions and misrepresentations. Mr. Bush has many mirrors that don't show the true picture. He remind me of the carnival when you have the mirrors that make you look tall or skinny even ones that make you look fat. Just look into on...
