David, This is the most uninformed thing I've ever seen you post here -- and I don't say it lightly.

I think you missed his point. He's acknowledging that the war on terror is first and foremost on everyone's mind. And since Kerry is a politician, he has to market himself to this sort of audience. It's hard to fight a war via legislation, which is why Bush has a leg up on Kerry in that aspect. That's why Kerry has to sell himself on his Vietnam experience, because it's all he's got as a counter.

His side note on not believing people are in grave danger ("Is there any other kind?") is just his personal belief. That's not a fault of his youth, since like you noticed, even JF thinks the same way. Rather, it's just a reflection of his unique world view.

But going back to why Kerry is running on his Vietnam experience instead of his Senate record, I think that's more evidence that Bush will win in November. Why? Because he's defining this political game, whether you like it or not. Obviously the Moore-heads don't, but boo hoo for them. ;-)
