In a debate on a 1988 welfare reform bill, Kerry said: "It contains provisions troublesome to me, such as the sixteen-hour weekly work requirement for two-parent families receiving benefits." Wow, what heart. I'll bet there isn't a Republican in the country who cares that deeply about the leisure time of two-parent welfare families. I know I don't.

There is no war ... just chaos ... Kerry was trapped ... .......... by that hideous "war authorization" vote. That was very clever of Bush to make the whole thing bipartisan. He never need the authorization. He fooled the Senate into thinking that it would empower him with our allies, Saddam, and the inspectors. All he wanted to do was make his ill-advised plans to invade Iraq bipartisan. What a mistake. Now the situation has become chaotic, as many of us predicted before the war. Kerry has no choice but to criticize the war. He was very careful about it; simply charging Bush with having failed to go through proper international procedures. It should be obvious to everyone now that classic procedures should have been followed. I have hated Saddam for years and my gut feeling back in the 1991 was that Bush's father should have "finished the job." But I now see that that would have been a mistake. During the next ten years, Saddam was effectively disarmed. Granted, he was a horror to his own people. But we can't solve all the world's problems. Now, though, with this fiasco in Iraq, we have linked up the Islamic terrorists with a direct route from Iran to Saudi Arabia. Can anyone spell "dominoes"? Bush's Iraq misadventure was ill-advised and ill-planned. Amateurish in all respects. It has made us the scourge of the world. /john
