There would have to be two different lists of suggestions for each of the two presidents.The first list would be for the current president and the second would be for the incumbent president. There are some tough decisions that have to be made and likely some new legislation passed. These are both essential in order to protect the citizens while not alienating ourselves to the other countries of the world. Perhaps our current president needs the advice just as much (or more) as the next to be elected.

Lets start with the current president. The only way that he could ever possibly say that his two terms as the commander in chief were at all successful would be the capture of Osama and the vanquishing of El Queda, the crushing of the Taliban, and or all of the above. The reasons that these things have to be done is the same reason that all Americans are very cautious of any international travel, comments pertaining to certain ethnic groups and or opinions on what has to be done to ensure the safety of the American people and the democracy that we stand for. The fact that we have sent thousand of troops and trillions of dollars to Iraq has to be the most foolish thing that we have done in the cause to eliminate terrorists. All this has really accomplished is a lot of tension in the same area of the world that is the birthplace of these terrorist groups. The fact that he continued a war that his father's administration had already lost is the same reason this country is not about to start recognizing a "royal" line of succession. As if his father's term didn't confuse the average American enough, the son not only caused more confusion and resentment but also ended up using the key figures in the cabinet of the father to try to get him out of the whole mess.

The true fact remains that we as people will not be satisfied with the outcome of any of this without the head of Osama on a very large, tall stick (preferably stuck at the exact site of the twin towers in New York City with an American flag waving next to it) for all to see. We made Saddam hide in a hole in the ground in his own country, so why can't we do this to Osama in someone elses? If we never find Osama it will never be forgotten in the back of our minds. I am sick and tired of being so politically correct about the way we have been trying to find these people. The terrorist groups that are responsible must be completely eliminated.
