I would not have gone into Iraq first and for-most, but I probably would have put pressure on Saddam Hussein. I think the inspectors should have been allowed to do their job. I would have gone into Afghanistan though to get Osama bin Laden and hopefully, with me as President, the US would have gotten him by now. I would support Israel against Hezbollah so I am more like the President than I thought. How disturbing.

told the rest of the world like France,Russia, Germany that it is time to choose a side, you only get one chance after that if your people do not speak out and make there government do the right thing when the terrorists are knocking on there door don't call us for we will not answer the phone
and in a time of war that hole freedom of the press thing would have a real problem for if a reporter did something to in danger an American soldier in any way revealing a position, telling a very slanted story that makes our soldiers look unjustly bad they would be ejected form the game and if they continue they would be tried for treason
I am not saying that soldiers can do no wrong but this is a war and bad things happen in war
if someone points a gun at us or harbors those that do eliminate them if terrorist hide in neighborhoods give the people a chance to point them out then if they don't Laval it
oh ya have a nice day

I think Afghanistan was inevitable. There was no way in that situation that we could have let any countries harbor our enemies after 9/11. I would not have gone to war with Iraq. The only terrorist group that actively operated in Iraq was a Iranian group dedicated to the overthrow of Saddam. Hooray for us.
Domestically, I would have given tons of money for airport, harbor security, etc... I also would base HMS money on actual threats rather than giving it out evenly. Like giving more money to NY or CA for vital or high profile targets rather than wheat fields in Kansas. There is no effective harbor security and the vast majority of airports don't have the scanners they need. I think $20 billion is the price tag on that.

Stayed out of Iraq which had no terrorists in it till now. Consintrated on afganistan and caught bin laden. Used world solidarity against terrorism to after 9/11 to destroy it instead of make everybody hate us.

I would pull the press out and fight the war like a war not all of this political correct bull****.
We would have been done already and loss of life would have been alot less for our soldiers.
We should go to WAR to win.
The press always supports the underdog.You know the one that starts the war with 9/11.

If I were George I would fire the puppeteer named Rumsfeld who really runs the White House, fire Cheney for being worthless , I would make Powell Vice President... Then I would step down and allow Powell to straighten the entire mess out.
Source(s): Hopefully Powell will run for Prez next time. He would win by a landslide. - Anonymous1 decade ago
Is not an easy question to answer, but you see what we call terorism ,others say the same thing about us. so the problem is in the U.S.A. goverment and its sole alliance to Israel when one is a world power, they must take into account evryone involved, not just the survival of Israel ,all them there in the middle east need to survive and be taken into consideration ,therefore like a good father the U.S.A. must listen and deal with them all in a equal way ,with justice and dignity.
Source(s): is only a humble suggestion as is nothing is getting solved. - idontknoLv 71 decade ago

Nuked Iraq and Afghanistan completely. Who needs them? They're nothing but trouble anyway.
