That's where you're wrong. The international community will be so glad to see Kerry replacing Bush they'll bend over backwards to help us. In 2000 during the election I was in Europe working there. When Bush finally "won" there was a deep sense of gloom and depression on the streets. You could see it everywhere. Much more so than in the US. They really follow our politics and were really rooting for Gore. But they like Kerry even more. It's anot a "liberal" thing it's a worldly thing. This is exactly what we need now. Kerry alone can make Bush's seventh excuse for invading Iraq (the one about creating a friendly island in the midst) a reality. Bush's big problem is that no one around the world trusts a word he says anymore. That sounds like a wild exaggeration, I know, but if it isn't true, it's pretty damn close. And it all goes back to a few speeches Bush made about mushroom clouds and the UN being irrelevant. Europeans are also quite aware of the rightwing blather about boycotting France, hating the UN and Germans and Russians being corrupt wimps. They don't take kindly to it as they know Bush cheated to win in the first place.
