"... a leader who has spent his entire life running from every fight. uw " He is now attempting to convince the persuadable that he really is a moderate. His more recent comments about two Americas etc. He will be choking on his comments about abortion and no war in Iraq before the polls close. Now that he has shown us how "touchy and feely" he is with new friend edwards, it will be interesting to see if he mugs mrs. kerry at the DNC like gore did with his wife.

Perhaps the greatest cynicism of all is that so many Americans accept that our freedoms and lifestyle were won and have been sustained by many a fight. One source of that cynicism was the trend toward involvement in fights that had little demonstrable connection to the winning and sustenance of our freedoms. The government never produced a satisfactory argument to demonstrate, for example, that the war in Vietnam was necessary to the preservation of American freedom, and the war foundered as much on that failure as on any other factor. We have much the same problem in Iraq. Yet they don't comprehend our greatest allies became so because we fought to either keep them free or to free them. We aren’t the only people on earth who have fought for freedom, not by a long shot. Nor are we entitled to define “freedom” for others. If our allies aren't free to pursue their interests as they understand them, even if those interests diverge from ours, are they really free at all?
