On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:

Whom should President Bush listen to when it comes to the war in Iraq?

Bush has said for at least 3 years that it's the Generals' call as to what they need or what he should do. The Joint Chiefs are all telling him and he doesn't like it. The last election, the people told him and he didn't like it. Baker and his group told him, and he didn't like it. There are many people telling him the same thing and he doesn't like or agree with it. At what point do you take away a spoiled brat's toys and sit him in a corner?

Bush should listen to people who are smarter than he is, regarding Iraq. We know that won't happen and so Mr. Bush will blunder through the next two years, running up the national debt, causing the deaths of untold thousands more and destroying any credibility we might still have left in Europe.
Terry

Bush should be listening to his employers: the American people and they are telling him to get out of Iraq now.
Shari, Fleetwood, Pennsylvania

Jack, Great question. Who should President Bush listen to? Me. So far though, he has not answered any of my letters or e-mails, and won't take my calls. I don't think he likes me any more.

Could Republicans nominate a social liberal like Rudy Giuliani for president?

My general rule is that no member of Congress, especially the Senate, has any business running for president. We are looking for leadership, independent thought, and compassion, not more of the same. On that basis, Giuliani looks really good. If Obama would resign soon, he would be fantastic.
Joe, Dallas, Texas

I would not vote for Giuliani under any imaginable set of circumstances. Not because I'm a Democrat (I am), but because he's an ineffectual megalomaniac who can't be trusted to hire well (remember Bernie Kerik?) and because the only thing he does well is self- promote. Bring him on!
Alan, Minnesota

It's now possible. It's not 2004 anymore and the evangelical influence on the party seems to be waning in the face of the Iraq war. Thank God.
Ray, California

My fellow Republicans need to get their heads out of the sand. Rudy Giuliani is the best presidential candidate to appeal to the masses. You refer to him as a "social liberal." Actually, he is "fair minded and fiscally responsible." Sounds like a winner to me. Wonder if he could use a good volunteer for his campaign.

What effect does U.S. oil dependency have on its foreign policy?

If we had used the money we have wasted on the wars in Iraq on alternative fuels we could be energy independent. Instead we are in Iraq trying to help the big oil companies. We just don't learn.
Lewis, Mullan, Idaho

Jack, The effect is clear. Our oil dependency involves the U.S. in unending wars, discredits influence in almost every other nation, and confirms to the rest of the world that the citizens of this country are not willing to seek alternative energy, unless the war machine dictates it, or the people in power have control of the profit.
Jeremiah, San Francisco, California

Where to begin? Because of oil, the U.S. propped up the corrupt Shah of Iran - resulting in the current Iranian regime. Because of oil, the U.S. armed Iraq - to attack Iran. Because of oil, the U.S. attacked Iraq - to protect its access to Kuwaiti oil. Because of oil, the U.S. invaded Iraq - leading to so much strife there may now be a regional war (which would cut-off the flow of oil to the U.S.). It would be ironic if it weren't so disgusting.
