    Just remember: Appeasement was the cause of WWII. If anyone had opposed Hitler when he rose to power, think of what catastrophes would have been averted?

    Hitler began to rebuilt the German Army in defiance of world imposed sanctions as a result of WW I, but no one did anything. He just kept lying to the League of Nations (precurser to the UN)... just like, N. Korea, Iran, China, Iraq ... just to name a few. Then he started invading his neighbors (reminds me of Saddam - Kuwait, early 90's?) and the world ignored it then, see what it lead to, and they didn't have nuclear weapons.

    The terrorists will only celebrate if we stop yield to their demands and appease them. And even then, they will still kill us. They won't stop, ever. Remember, they want to kill you, just b/c you are not like them. A more pure form of racism and hatred has never existed.

    No. if we put the right person in office then the terrorists will have a reason to be afraid. the last election was a boost to the terrorist element. It's not like GWB is going to move our troops out of Iraq and onto the trail of al Quaeda. He's not going to seek out their bases of operations and take down their training camps. His family is in bed with those that wield power in Saudi Arabia, You know the Saudis, they were 3/4 of the 9/11 assault force. No, terrorists are quite content with GWB at the helm.

    Not sure if the terrorists will be happy. Bush has done so much to help them recruit.

    China will be glad that he's gone, because the dude hasn't focused enough attention on one of America's key economic partners.

    Russia will be glad to be rid of him as well. Hopefully the next President will repair relations with Russia (who by the way has more untapped oil reserves than the Saudis.)

    Iran and North Korea will obviously be glad that Bush is gone. He has done as much to worry them as any US President, because they know he is just crazy enough to attack them.

    No. I think terrorists will be sad that their #1 poster boy for Islamic recruitments will leave.

    These last six years have never been this good for them--since Clinton left office.

    They couldn't asked for a more ignorant fool than the one sitting so obliviously in the Oval Office.

    Well Osama is already celebrating getting away with murder and USA getting rid of Saddam for him and for encouraging all those new recruits in Iraq to sign up.So what did the war in Iraq actually achieve except divide the world even more.

    Bush has been a boon to terrorist organizations. Unfortunately, I don't think that a change in the presidency will result in any meaningful change in policy. The U.S. ruling elite are in consensus regarding protecting their position of global dominance.

    There is no question but that the terrorists will be ecstatic! They will feel that they have defeated him...and that his successor will do whatever is required to avoid any conflict that could hurt his or her chances at a second term.

    No, Hehehe, because Bush actually plays right into the terrorists hands.

    Osama bin Laden laughs at the American tax payers, on his way to the bank every day.

    They have no reason to celebrate, Bush gave up on the war on terror years ago.
