President Bush, remember that you are the president of the United States, not the world. We don't have the right to invade other countries, kill their women and children and destroy their business, no matter what. We have so many issues at home that need to be addressed -- so many children living in poverty, so many people without access to health care, so many living on the streets with mental illness because they can't get medicine, so many poor children receiving a second-rate education, so many, many problems. It is time for America to look inward and to heal the wounds we have here. You have said, Mr. President, that you have gone into Afghanistan and Iraq because those people deserve a better life. What about the millions of people here that spend their days wishing, hoping that something, someone could change their life? Bring them food, or a job, or a safe place to live. It is time for America to heal its own wounds, Mr. President.
