Think back with me. Remember back in 1997 when the movie "Air Force One" came out? Remember the speech at the very beginning that "President Marshall" gave? Remember how you felt when he made the speech? Below is a copy of that speech:

"As you know, three weeks ago American Special Forces, in cooperation with the Russian Republican Army, secured the arrest of Turkmenistan's self-proclaimed dictator, General Ivan Stravanavitch, whose brutal sadistic reign had given new meaning to the word horror. I am proud to say our operation was a success.
"And now, yesterday's biggest threat to world peace... today awaits trial for crimes against humanity.
"What we did here was important. We finally pulled our heads out of the sand, we finally stood up to the brutality and said "We've had enough. Every time we ignore these atrocities--the rapes, the death squads, the genocides- every time we negotiate with these, these thugs to keep them out of gig country and away from gig families, every time we do this. We legitimize terror.
Terror is not a legitimate system of government. And to those who commit the atrocities I say, we will no longer tolerate, we will no longer negotiate, and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid."

Do you feel that burning in your gut that says, "You go, Mr. President"? Now, I am going to change a few words of that speech, and I want you to read it again:

"As you know, almost one year ago American Military Forces, in cooperation with thirty-six other countries, secured the arrest of Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, whose brutal sadistic reign had given new meaning to the word horror. I am proud to say our operation was a success.
"And now, yesterday's biggest threat to world peace... today awaits trial for crimes against humanity.
"What we did here was important. We finally pulled our heads out of the sand, we finally stood up to the brutality and said "We've had enough. Every time we ignore these atrocities--the rapes, the death squads, the genocides- every time we negotiate with these, these thugs to keep them out of gig country and away from gig families, every time we do this. We legitimize terror.
Terror is not a legitimate system of government. And to those who commit the atrocities I say, we will no longer tolerate, we will no longer negotiate, and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid."

Now let me ask you this question? Does this sound like George W. Bush or John F. Kerry? Your answer to that question should be whom you vote for this year for President of the United States of America.
