Karl Rove

Honestly? I agree with his recent statements on democratic behavior after the attacks of September 11th. I remember thinking, that horrible day, how glad I was that Al Gore wasn't President, based on Clinton's ineffectiveness where attacks on the United States was concerned. And as the year progressed, I became even more convinced that George W. Bush's policy was correct. Had Gore been President, the Taliban would still be in power in Afghanistan, and al-Qa'ida would live within their borders to attack Western interests with impunity.

Which is not to say that the Bush administrations policies haven't been problematic at times. But I cannot support those who feel that peace at all costs is a valid course of action.

Conspiracy Theories

I don't believe in them, most of the time.
