We the people

Even the definitely conservative-leaning Iraq Study Group recommended "a robust diplomatic effort to establish an international support structure intended to stabilize Iraq and ease tensions in other countries in the region." The study group wants the United States to employ broad regional diplomacy (including Iran and Syria in the region) as a necessary step toward bringing our troops home from Iraq. To me, that doesn't sound like something President Bush would be inclined to do, but, as the study group said, it is necessary before our troops can be brought home. What is needed is for Congress and we the people to hold Bush's feet to the fire and make him do something that is right for the country for once. That is why we the people gave the Democrats majorities in the House and Senate in the last election. If Congress doesn't act quickly, then we the people must act and hold Congress' feet to the fire. They work for us; we should make them act like they know they do. George Hunt, Maple Shade - Courier Post, December 19, 2006
