George W. Bush: Still a Great President

When George W. Bush was governor of the state of Texas, he quickly gained marked popularity among constituents. He wasn't long into his first term before many began to hope he would have presidential aspirations. Little did they know, he already had. When he was re-elected to his second term in November 1998, he became the first governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive four-year terms.

Of course his being elected to the Presidency of the United States of America was a victory for American conservatives, but it was also an indication that many wanted someone in the White House who cared about the issues that would make our country better: socially and economically.

This country was very fortunate that Bush was the Commander in Chief in September 2001. Terrorists like the evil ones that attacked our great nation on September 11 count on there being someone in charge who will fold to accommodate them, who will sympathize with their ridiculous messages and who will appease them in the false hope that they will leave us alone. George W. Bush was not that person, and they hated it.

I am one of the Americans who responded to the invasion of Iraq with "It's about time!" I'd wished Saddam Hussein had been removed long before. And I don't understand why it would be a stretch for anyone to believe that this man would have acquired and used weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. first chance he got. I'm glad his endeavor to do so was unsuccessful. By the time his refusal to allow weapons inspectors in, and the silly games he was playing got really old, Bush had given the evil dictator plenty of opportunities to avoid what ultimately happened. Most of Iraq's own citizens were thankful that finally someone stood up and did the right thing, allowing them freedom from this reigning terrorist.
