I don't care of the outcome. I just don't want Kerry to represent the US. Here is a guy that has consistently protested US foreign policy of war. War is not a fun time, but it is a real policy that must be steadfast and serious. Look at the advertisements by Soros. The guy is trying to make more money by selling books as to why America is hated around the world.

I get really pissed off when liberals try to use this ugly American concept. The people that hate us are Islamic fundamentalists that flew 4 planes of US people to their death on 9/11. They declared open war on us. Common sense would suggest that it was time for pre-emptive action against the terrorist on their home soil.

This election is still about the war. I would not hand over the responsbility of this war to a man that threw away his war metals, ones of dubious honor. I think the US had every right to take out Saddam even though he did not have WMD. He was guilty of far greater crimes known as genocide. The terrorists in his country were being encouraged to hate Westerns.

It is against the law in this country to teach hatred and murder. We should take pre-emptive strikes against other countries with specific plans to bring danger to our citizens at home and abroad. The only problem is trying to negotiate deterrence. However, Islam needs to reform itself to discourage people from taking their religious practice of Jihad against Western targets. Otherwise, it seems to me that Islma represents an ongoing security risk for all people. I believe Bush would keep applying pressure to this situation for another 4 years.

This is not about supremacy. It is about survival. Look at what happened when Putin turned a blind eye to the Chechnyan rebels. Weakness and negotiation are not the tools to contain this situation.
