Remember that politicians usually try to appease everyone with a strategy that focuses on the next election. I think Bush is doing some things that stick to his beliefs and not sticking his finger in the air to see which way the wind blows so he can change his story accordingly. When it comes to fish I think he sees the dams as more of a business asset than a fish obstacle. That is his belief. I think we can get rid of a few dams but Bush needs to see the dispute from everyone's point of view and not just from the fisherman's view. I think the need for a balanced approach is not being looked at here. Sure breaching all the dams and stopping all road building and all logging would be good for salmon but at what cost? Is it a choice of either or>? It sure is to some. And I will say it again..population growth is what is killing our habitat. Too many people on too few acres.
