I was talking about the Iraqi people.
If you want to talk US politics here, the Founding Fathers gave the president four year terms. Longer than the term of congressmen so they wouldn't be as suseptible to the changing and fickle moods of the public. The people gave Bush four more years to try and make Iraq succeed. In addition, since the Democrats were all over the board on the war (I heard last night some new head of a committee, maybe intelligence, is saying we should send in more troops) the only message sent by the American people was they wanted change.
