Perhaps, and I hope it plays out that way. But the fall of the PP in Spain, maybe Blair in the UK and who knows what with Berlusconi. My fear is that these events might create a different reaction in the US, leading to a sizeable number of moderate Republicans and independents hunkering down in a posture along the lines of: "defend the homeland" and to hell with the weak who are cowed into yielding to terrorism. I don't feel this way, but I can envision a patriotic backlash of this sort. Kerry will have to be very judicious and canny to play these developments correctly--all a part of what I feel is his key campaign chllenge--reconciling his vote on withholding funds and attack on Bush policies in Iraq while simultaneously convincing voters that he is a guy to whom they can trust the defense of the nation and the war on terror.
