- Differing approaches to utilize our armed forces Using the military to uphold American values (Political Face-off Clayton Swope)
The United States flag and all that it represents embody what it means to be American. As if the very words were ingrained in our hearts and minds, generations of Americans have willingly sacrificed their lives to uphold the sacred values we profess each and every time we pledge allegiance to our flag. When these universal rights of justice, freedom and unity are denied to humanity, the United States must act to restore them. Just as the United States remained a beacon of democracy against communism during the 20th Century, the United States must now continue to stand for justice in today's post-Cold War world.

The next Chief Executive Officer must be ready to take action, while also protecting the best interests of the nation domestically. Governor George W. Bush is the best candidate to manage such a task.
