Restoring America's Reputation

[...] In order for America to regain its lost prestige and fundanmental values, we need dedicated men and women willing to cherish the concepts of the Founding Fathers. Americans hava a moral and a practical obligation to stand behind a commitment to human rights, fair laws, justice and equality for all. But this is not the case today, as President Bush has been empowered to blindly pursue ths desastrous policies. Tiwcw he's been given the green light, and we know how bitter the aftermath's been. What happened to the political and ethical principles to which the Founding Fathers were dedicated - principles that were believed to be of universal applicability? Why have these been discarded by Bush? Look at the mess in which the United States is flundering now. The world is watching to see if the the greatest democracy in the world can get back on track again. How long will it take for America to return to the first seeds it sowed and regain its credibility?
