Now that the 'Next US President' thread is completed by the winning of Pres. Bush over John Kerry, we can now look towards what will happen NEXT...
What is your prediction of the next four years under the Bush Administration?
He will probably go further with 'The Fight Against Terror.'
Now that he's in his second term, he may even be more daring.. Perhaps he will help Israel in a greater way. Have the U.S involve directly in the issue of Israel Vs. Palestine. I think that would be his next step.

I believe the major area of focus will be on cleaning up the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. There are also some Supreme Court justices that need replacing for health or age reasons, and that will take up some time and energy. There will be healthcare issues, tax issues, and the normal economy/jobs/oil prices issues. And of course the Israel/Palestine situation. With Arafat ill... the possibility of his death is a new problem, and there is no telling what the Palestinian Authority or Hamas will do.
In short, there are plenty of on-going issues that need resolution, and Bush has only 4 years to take care of it all.
In my opinion, of course.

BUSH REACHES OUT: PRESIDENT TO PURSUE WAR, TAXES
President Bush claimed a re-election mandate Wednesday after a record 59 million Americans chose him over Democrat John Kerry and voted to expand Republican control of Congress as well. He pledged to pursue his agenda on taxes and Iraq while seeking "the broad support of all Americans."

I think that GWB will do just as he said he would during the campaign. Keep up the pressure on the terrorist organizations, help Iraq and Afghanistan to get up on their feet, and continue to try to beef up the economy.
With the stronger Senate and House majorities, he really has an opportunity to accomplish more of his agenda.
Of course, the Supreme Court vacancies will also be a huge job, along with the other court vacancies.

I think that because has nothing to prove anymore and the international opinion is growing agains any kind of conflict ...He will try to cool down the things without loosing face....but hope that if I am wrong less people (americans of not) die in this new 4 years
He has shown good restraint since winning. "Show Boating' would be sad for the leader of a nation. And I am glad to see him say that he is sticking with everything he campaigned for, that proves his firm stance on things.
