A great article that should be read by all, dems and repubs alike! I just cannot agree more with the paragraph in the article:- The international outrage over the American invasion is now joined by a sense of disdain for the incompetence of the effort. Moderate Arab leaders who have attempted to introduce a modicum of democracy are tainted by their connection to an administration that is now radioactive in the Muslim world. Heads of rogue states, including Iran and North Korea, have been taught decisively that the best protection against a pre-emptive American strike is to acquire nuclear weapons themselves. I recall that during and soon after the Korean War (1950/51) the US had been threatening Red China with a nuclear attack. Through the Voice of America, a radio broadcast, China was almost subjected daily to nuclear blackmail right up to 1956 when Chairman Mao decided that it was imperative that China have nuclear weapons of its own. China ended the nuclear blackmail of the West in 1964 when it exploded its own atom bomb and a mini hydrogen bomb shortly after! It is quite easy to see why Iran wants to have nuclear weapons of its own.

RE: "We have specific fears about what would happen in a second Bush term, particularly regarding the Supreme Court. The record so far gives us plenty of cause for worry. Thanks to Mr. Bush, Jay Bybee, the author of an infamous Justice Department memo justifying the use of torture as an interrogation technique, is now a federal appeals court judge. Another Bush selection, J. Leon Holmes, a federal judge in Arkansas, has written that wives must be subordinate to their husbands and compared abortion rights activists to Nazis." -------------- This is one of my biggest concerns. I sure hope Bush doesn't win. There is so much ground to be lost if he does. We need John Kerry to win and we also need Theresa to be in the White House too. Regards, Amy J
