Just one minute - John "Smooth Operator" Kerry On Meet The Press By The MinuteMan Sen. John Kerry appeared on Meet the Press with Tim Russert. The transcript does not do his performance justice - we are left wondering, as with Howard Dean, whether America will be inclined to elect a fellow this angry. However he also provides some helpful pointers on how to conduct diplomacy. The subject was Iraq, and Tim Russert was honing in the nuances of Kerry's objectives - do we want a stable Iraq, a democratic Iraq, or what : MR. RUSSERT: Could you accept a Shiite theocracy running Iraq similar to what we have in Iran? SEN. KERRY: I think that what is important is to have a pluralistic representation. It doesn't have to be, at least in the early days, the kind of democracy this administration has talked about, though that's our goal and we should remain there. But what is critical is a stable Iraq. If this sort of pre-emptive concession is the Senator's idea of good diplomacy, I may wax nostalgic for Bush's style.
