Well, so far as I see it Bush=good for war on terror, but bad for the economy. (yeah I know it's not that simple but more or less. I know you might disagree but the question I have, agree with that last statement or not is, Which issue is more important to you? Domestic economy or foreign policy?

The economy is important. So is education, health care, and many other issues... but none of that matters if our very security is at risk. And since the president has much less power over domestic issues, I feel at this time his strength should definately be in foreign policy.

I believe this is the most important election I've ever voted in, and it's mostly based on foriegn policy. 9/11 fundamentally changed my perspectives and priorities. Now more than ever we need a president who can lead in the right direction, not play the political games, and stand firm on principles. The pragmatic, appeasing, whim-of-the-moment foreign policies of the past threaten to cause a great deal more harm to us and the world. That said, I believe in the 'Bush Doctrine' and I think he's basically on the right track.

Those are some good points but how are we going to afford to wage wars and take part in nation building with this mounting debt? Will continued spending on big projects like Iraq weaken the U.S. to fight future wars and build nations in the future?

Are we hoping to never have to do this again?
