Leadership at its Easiest

We've all heard so many times about how Bush and Guliani showed strong leadership after 911. But if you think about it, this is easy leadership.

I respect Bush & Guliani's so called "leadership," however the things that they did were "no brainers" It was a given that Rudy would come before the city and the world after 911, to list casualties, services being offered, looking stressed and sad and inform about what was being done.

It was a given that Bush would stand before the world, vowing to bring the terrorists who organized the attacks (the Taliban and Bin Laden) to justice. Not hard leadership if you ask me. This had to be done.

This is leadership at its easiest. There was no other choice for these two at that time. Real leadership is hard. Real leaders do what few can do. Where were the leaders who said, "Wait, this information on WMD is too weak to go to war on." Where was the leader who shouted that there was no link between Saddam and 911?

These leaders were around, I know. However they were followed by the few, not the masses.
