                <text>TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times.  TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here.</text>

            <text>Many of the issues that seemed never ending in the news 
disappeared after Sept. 11.  A few have returned while others are 
left in the dust.  The biggest one or one of the most talked about 
was Bush's new presidency; whether or not he would be a reincarnation 
of his father and if he would be a good president.  This question has 
returned as suspected.  The nation is continuing to contemplate his 
actions as president thus far.  September 11 lifted off his 
reputation as the ""people's president"".  This was caused by his 
standing upon the wreckage together with the firefighters and 
speaking to the group of people who there about how he will retaliate 
against the Al-Queda.  They felt at ease because he seemed to be in 
their level.  Although this has occurred people of this nation still 
remain unsure toward his actions afterward.  An enormous amount of 
people were anxious, thoroughly vexed, and wanted revenge as soon as 
possible.  Personally, I was apprehensive Bush would consider a 
strike attack right after, then all out war.  Especially now when the 
government is thinking about Iraq.  Some residents of this nation 
want revenge while others would actually like to consider some 
thought into their final decision.  For instance, an example where an 
equal amount of pressure and thought was put into was the Cuban 
Missile Crisis.  President Kennedy and his advisors had to compete 
against the army's top men when they wanted to produce an immediate 
attack on Russia when they were posted in Cuba.  Just like then we 
too are wondering whether Bush's decisions have been made correctly. 
Our commander-and-chief should be able to handle this situation. 
Question... Do you think he can or will?
