This isn't a sensitive political disaster his administration needs to clean up; it's a plain ol' tragedy which people will mourn and recover from. Technology will benefit from what happened and the shuttle will fly again. > IMO, this is the end of his presidency.

I realize Bush is a politician, but why must every last decision he make be political? Perhaps he actually cares about the security of the United States and its inhabitants. I'm as cynical as the next guy, but maybe his efforts are actually in everyone's best interests and not just his own. Clinton apparently brainwashed the world into thinking every United States president is morally corrupt and self-serving. At worst, Bush has proven himself to be a determined man of action. I'll take that any day over recalcitrance or patronizing lip service. -Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
