Tenchusatsu,
Kerry's "foreign leaders support me" statement he has ran away from ruined his campaign. Too bad Dean isn't still around. At least he said what he meant and meant what he said.

The meme of surrendering to Saddam is spreading.
Message 20097579

<font color=brown> At the same time, it is preposterous for anyone to speak of democracy in Iraq so long as Saddam Hussein is in an official spider hole. He was unseated on a basis that is contrary to all standards of legal conduct between nations. The US decided on its own that he should no longer be the president of Iraq – the very thing all norms of international law are designed to prevent. No government needs to be permanent, but those who pose no threat to international peace should be managed, controlled, or overthrown by their own citizens.

The end is unjustified by the means used. There is no moral nor legal basis (other than might makes right) for Saddam to be held by the US, much less subjected to a kangaroo court staffed by neoconservative conspirators. Saddam must be immediately released and escorted back to Iraq under the protection of an international delegation. At that point, Carter can supervise elections with Saddam among the candidates. And yes, it’s not impossible that he might win.

This is unprecidented. Never before has an American President lost a war so quickly.
