Reply #453: I have to agree cliffordu

This is my first post here, but I just wanted to chime in agreement with cliffordu.

This is not simply a matter of whether the war is right or wrong, the current administration is tasked with the responsibility of repairing the world view of the United States for generations to come. The Bush administration spent eight years effectively transforming our International image into an enormous-ego-fed-consumer-driven-manifest-destiny-machine, out to run over any culture that we don't like. Whether we like to admit it or not, the actions performed by the United States government during those eight years will not be remembered in history as the action of George W. Bush, but as the actions of America. Obama is doing his best to try to rewrite the American play book. Not just because it is the right thing to do, but also because it could effectively alter the historical perception of the United States both at home and abroad for generations to come.
