The three best things that any parent can leave to their children to enjoy (and they will thank them later), regardless economic status: an education, a strong democracy where rights and liberties are protected and a cleaner environment.
Diplomacy is the answer! Democracy wins over dictators by spreading the message of freedom to the people. Words are more powerful than bombs. You just have to know what and when to say something. Diplomacy.
The next president should clean up our act at home by protecting civil rights and civil liberties, so that we are an incredible force around the world as well. We won't be believable on the most important issues if we can't solve our own problems.
The next president should plan to get the troops out of Iraq. Make it well known that Americans care about Democracy, civil rights, human rights and protection for the environment. And finally of course, the protection of women.
