I thought it was interesting that the GOP would choose Arnold as a convention speaker. Arnold, a man who pretends to be a tough guy in make-believe movies. It just kind of resonates with the whole idea of our chicken-hawk leaders who know nothing of shooting or dodging bullets, except to send the sons and daughters of other Americans off to do their "tough guy" diplomacy.

Bush's decisiveness has been repeatedly mentioned as one of his higher quality attributes. I agree that decisiveness can be a quality human attribute, but not when it is so utterly unencumbered by the thought process. After reading what administration members have to say about how Bush makes or reaches decisions - frequently with little or no salient information - why would Republicans brag about such an obvious human defect?

Sincerely,
