From what Kerry did in his voting on the Iraq war and his Middle East policy and other things. He seems to be a guy knows very well about how to "enhance career". If he successfully take the office after the election, he is quite likely to cooperate with the powerhouse closely. But you are probably right about this: >>if Kerry is elected he'll probably scale down Bush's exalted anti-terror designs...<< Kerry may be looking for some kind of balance between cooperating with the powerhouse and at the same time avoid upsetting the anti-war camp too much. Especially at the time the pro-war camp is losing steam (mainly due to the fact that the Iraq war has backfired on them) and the anti-war camp is gaining ground. The situation today is easier for Kerry do a little balancing act after(if) he wins the election. >>Their most severe setback so far is Britain's unwillingness to take on Iran.<< That's one of the important factors. We can also see the other important developments which are unfavorable to the war party to continue on Iran, Message 19807548 (just one of the recent examples) It's becoming more doubtful that the war party can wage full scale war on Iran under the new situation. A new cold war seems more likely in the foreseeable future.
