I am writing in regards to President Bush's comments on Wednesday regarding the reoccurring ambush-style attacks of our soldiers in Iraq.

Anyone who would respond to these serious situations with the thuggish challenge of "Bring them on" is not fit to be the representative of my great nation. It is this kind of foolish, arrogant attitude that causes many of the diplomatic problems we are experiencing now.

I simply cannot believe that such a childish man represents me in the world political arena. Until Bush is replaced by someone with actual intellect (be it Republican, Democrat or third party), none of us will be safe.
