Yes, Bush has surrounded himself with good people who kill unarmed people: journalism.co.uk With your monika "PROLIFE" I'd think you'd abhor what you'll see should you open the above link.

"especially in light of Kerry's antics after he left Vietnam, and in light of Clark's not so good reviews from several former commanders" Maybe I am being cynical, but I don't think American voters will look that deeply into the candidates. In the last election there was a lot of noise about Bush deserting his national guard position, and how he got the position to begin with, and none of it stuck. All the public will see are two candidates who were wounded in Vietnam and got medals for it. Also, given that Clark rose to be commander of nato, I don't think charges that he was a lousy officer will stick. Regarding Kerry's anti-war stuff, that could be a plus, as vietnam remains an unpopular war. So, he gets the best of both worlds: he is a hero for fighting in the war, and a hero for protesting a war that many (especially deep-pocketed west coast contributors) now see as wrong. Generally the "noise" level has gotten so high in presidential elections, that those sorts of things don't matter much.
