>Let me restate. Is Kerry that gung-ho on defense? Are his supporters really looking for such a candidate? Depends on your definition of "gung-ho." Is he going to war with Iran? Probably not. >Anyone can say that they're going to fight a "smarter" war on terror, but when the going gets tough and dilemmas are forced upon our nation's leaders, how is Kerry going to handle it? Hopefully he wouldn't pin stuff on the wrong country... >Remember that Kerry is claiming he still would have voted to go to war with Iraq, knowing all that he knows now. No, if I'm not mistaken, he said he'd still vote the same way; to give the President the authority to go to war. Look, I don't like his stance on this, though I seem to understand it more than most Republicans seem to. He was voting to let Bush threaten Saddam, not necessarily to jump into a war. If I'd been casting that vote, I wouldn't have voted that way, but I agree with more of Kerry's stances than Bush's, and that's the best I can do. It's normally the best you can hope for in any election. It's not really a case of anybody but Bush, it's a case of anybody with opinions that are closer to mine than Bush's are. -Z
