Rudy Giuliani feels that he of all of the 2008 presidential election campaigners understands what terrorism is truly about. As mayor of New York City, when the 9/11 terrorist acts occurred, he was at the fore front of helping others to remain in control and to feel that there was still safety, even after they felt there was none. Although many of his opponents feel that he has no experience with foreign policy, he has been face to face with what being at war truly means. Giuliani helped to rebuild a city that was torn apart by terrorists and how to help others start to rebuild their lives. Although Giuliani won many hearts and was trusted by most Americans after the bombing incidents, many still wonder if he is capable of handling the war and complications that surround the ever growing terrorist problems that America faces today.
Many Giuliani supporters have been quick to point out that another US president has had the same type of experiences, yet is currently in charge of making decisions regarding the lives of millions of people, in an ongoing war. The future president of the United States will need to be one that can step up and use the resources America possesses to help make the fighting more effective or determine what needs to be done to correct the areas where we are currently lacking. The future president of the United States will have important decisions to think through and to focus on, to help bring things to a steady and optimal solution for all of those involved.
According to USA Election Polls (USAElectionPolls.com), Giuliani is leading the nominations for Republican candidate at 32% His closest competitor in the race is Thompson weighing in at 20%.
