accountability

Guide the country with honor, honesty, and accountability. We need to regain respect, not by kowtowing to foreign demands or bribing them with Americans' jobs, but by dealing fairly and honestly with other nations, and by getting our own house in order - by building a first class educational system, by encouraging scientific and technological innovation and excellence, by building a strong economy, and by implementing a best-in-class healthcare system.

Before I suggest anything on terrorism, I as well as millions of Americans would like to know where the billions of dollars went unaccounted for in Iraq. With that money we could have very well addressed not only terrorism but our own issues here at home! Our U.S. Image is more than damaged by the present administration. Before we go fighting terrorism outside the country, we need to find full accountability at home, and find those in leadership who do anything but facing the American public!

No more secret, unsupervised "wars" on terror or anything else. Transparency, accountability and a fearless commitment and free expression -- only these things will allow us to play a meaningful role in the world again.
