“I don't think that either side serves itself well by labeling...”

Gen. Wes Clark, in my opinion is best qualified to truly unite this country after years of bitter partisanship and he has always made this a top priority. During his presidential primary campaign he said, “And that's why I'm running for President - to return America to the core ideals of our democracy: personal liberty; service to country; respect for others; the right to criticize and correct the government - in time of war, especially. Debate, dialogue, discussion, disagreement, dissent - that's not wrong - that's not unpatriotic, that's one of the highest forms of patriotism and love of country, and we need to say it."

Throughout his speeches and televised remarks, there is a consistent pattern of the theme of uniting our citizens and our country by putting a stop to the divisive nature of verbal attacks. On one of his recent (November, 2005) television appearances, Clark said "I don't think that either side serves itself well by labeling...I think there's been quite enough name-calling done... Let's stop the labeling...Stop the adjectives. Stop the guilt by association, and go to the facts..."

This is what I think has to happen in order to even begin to solve the many problems we are seeing now at home and abroad and I do not hear anyone else talking about this nearly as much as Gen. Wes Clark is!
