What you need to decide is if the one above is able to make up his mind and keep it that way. Especially if the winds the directed the decision start to change. Your observation if it were the only point would be true. Unfortunately this is a far more complicated situation - and kerry has done little to show principled leadership.

Well you make excellent points. I certainly understand your concern and do not champion John Kerry as a principled leader. He hasn't shown me that, yet.

But I guess if it comes down to a person who can be blown about by the winds of change, versus someone who is so rigidly certain of his right that he cannot conceive of another way, I find the flexibility more appealing than the rigidity.

I can understand the inflexibility of the military. This is required of them. But when our civilian leader believes he's doing the will of god, I tremble for my country.

Why are we offered these two choices at this terrible time in our history? Where is the leader we need, our champion to guide us? Is it true that we get the leaders we deserve?

The current occupant of the White House is a known and frightening quantity. Maybe Kerry will rise to the challenge? I don't know.
