You elect them to do the will of the people yes but also to do what is right for the country based on the beliefs of that leader and those that support him. Bush is going to see this thing through...as opposed to Clinton who took a poll every time he needed to shit to see which hand he would wipe his ass with. Leadership is doing what's right...not what's popular.

The average American doesn't have the intel that our leaders are privy to. All they know is what they read in the newspaper or on the internet. That information alone is NOT enough to make an informed, intelligent decision. People are thinking about Iraq emotionally which is not a good thing.
