Yes, a clear apology from Bush, as part of a message that he's come to recognise the utility of allies, would go a long way toward making him suitable for office .... it's a bit late now, but better late than never, maybe They say in politics you can't apologise for your mistakes, partisanship must always trump principle, due to some way in which the gears and levers work .... hmm, i wonder ... easy for you and i to say we'd stick more to principle, but maybe a week and a half in the game would see us forget There's not much leftie in me, michael, fwiw, by canadian standards anyway ... opposition to misguided over-militarism is neither left nor right, it's just smart, imho ..... recall the words of the slaver/warhawk hero Davy Crockett - Be sure you're right, then go ahead .... ooops, comes a thought - maybe he didn't mean 'right' in the sense of 'correct' -g- Would Kerry kiss french ass? ... i don't think that's proven ... he speaks the language, maybe he'd go above the head of Chirac and appeal directly to the french people ... who, fwiw, come in all shapes and flavours, and have all sorts of internal disputes, just like everybody else .... Kerry had the guts to stand up against the war on the vietnamese, and was effective at doing so, it's clear to me he's far more likely to unify allies than the incumbent ... that said, i haven't followed along that much with your election stuff, no time, hope to rectify that shortly It did shame our species that Saddam was permitted to rule so long, that's a fact .... more Saddams out there yet, miles to go before we sleep .... but let's do all we can to stick to principle, along the road ..... later ..... cheers
