Thank you W for keeping us safe

I've been thinking hard lately since the Navy SEALs got bin Laden. Specifically, I have been rethinking my opinions on George W. Bush. During his presidency, I was opposed to some of his policies, like the invasion of Iraq, which I still think was wrong, especially given what is going on in the Middle East today, BUT, who would have thought the region would push for democracy. Today, I look at the man and view him as a man who did what he thought was right to protect our country, and after the September 11 attacks, he did just that. All the controversy aside regarding things such as Water boarding, the secret meetings with the Oil companies, etc., W kept us safe for the most part, post 911. I believe that W did what he thought was right to protect our country. I believe that all presidents do what they think is right to protect our country. And that is a good thing. I have come to the conclusion that I appreciate some of the things that W did while he was in office. I never thought that I would say it, but thank you W for keeping us safe.
