Politics, Bloody Politics!!! Be Decisive!!!

As the Prime Minister of England I experienced the best and worst of politics. Attitude is a little thing that make a big difference. When a decision was being made on what should be done in the World War those who were ankle-biters would get nothing done for the war or for our country. They were just a hindrance to progression in a time when decisions needs to be made. What I see in American politics in this current age are blag artist argy-bargy ankle biters who feel no real call to serve their country in the positions they hold by making tough decisions. From my experience I know that this is a pivotal moment for the United States. If action is not taken the United States super-power status, soft hegemony over the world, and alliances could all go to pot. Action needs to be taken drastically one way or the other in situations concerning the occupation of Iraq. Whether that decision is to withdraw troops, put more in, call on other nations to help the situation, something drastic needs to be done by those in power or all that the United States has gained in the world will disappear. At the beginning of this war there was large popularity for it and then popularity began to dwindle when occupation began. Since this time not much has changed in terms of decisions on how the war should be fought, if it should still be fought, and many other critical decisions. The only thing that has grown in this time is the danger for Americans to show their faces on Iraqi streets. American troops in Iraq are only fortifying themselves and are slow in their action. I am not suggesting that there is no military action happening in Iraq, I am suggesting that it is obvious in the current state of affairs that the war is not moving forward because of overall inactivity on the issue as a whole. In its current state of waffling around there have been decisions to surge troops, then take them out again, to withdraw funding, but then not to withdraw funding after all. A decision needs to be made soon...or the United States will become an anorak of Iraq.
