Bernice: Most of us will live in peace (your country for example) because we see great value in it.  And many see the value in helping other nations that aren't as fortunate as ours.  Bush, love him or hate him, has done more for Africa than any other individual human being, living or dead. 

I like the thing Obama has said so far.  And for the most part, he's gotten right to work and kept up with his promises during the campaign.  I don't doubt that he will continue that trend.  But reality has a way of altering our priorities and only time will tell what the next 100 days will reveal.  The direction of the Obama administration will be seen more clearly by then.

For example, Obama is closing Gitmo.  But so far, he has no plan other than saying he will close it.  His administration will "study" the logistics of closing the facility and look at available options and create a plan from there.  So if one wanted to be picky, he's made a decision to close Gitmo with no plan in place of how that closing will proceed and no plan on what to do with all the inmates.

I agree with on conservative commentator who said put them all in Florida, right next to some of those hollywood hotshots that kept calling for Gitmos close.  I say open a new facility right in their neighborhood.  Then they can put on benefit concerts for them.

Do people really think that putting terrorists into the general population is a good idea?  How long will it take before a couple of big burly inmates knock off a few of them former Gitmo inmates?
