Well, I don't see any reason to argue the point with you regarding the role of the president in our American society--all the way from our first president Washington to G. W. Bush.
.
But, I do believe the president sets an example that Americans uphold as the number one role model. That's for good or for bad. Personally, I believe that going into war as a means of settling the administration's differences with a foreign state sets an example that many Americans will follow in their day to day interactions with others. "So! You hate my life style, huh? Well, I'll show you!"
.
It might take a little mental energy to get a handle on the situation; but, I talk to many people who laud our president for his example of not putting up with any sh*t from anyone under any conditions. Mr. Bush's example is that people need to be single minded and not negotiate anything on anyone else's terms. It's his way or the highway.

I think millions of young Americans are growing up in families where the mother and father revere Mr. Bush as a wonderful man who--after a long dry spell of liberals--has taken a strong and hard stand for conservatism. And, I think those youngsters are going to grow up with an attitude. Millions of young Americans!! Millions!!~

I watched an interview with a grief counselor who was talking about what these college students have seen on the campus with so many dead. What in blazes do you think our young men and women who are being forced into war are going to experience in their life because of Iraq? Don't you realize what is going on in the world? Do you think it has something to do with Republicans and Liberals?

You're the historian and I KNOW FULL WELL that you have an historical perception of war.

An example is being set.
