Your logic is mind-boggling and strangely very simplistic. Spain was a terror infested election, Alqaeda designed the bombing campaign to hit the nerve centre of the election period, they were definitely successful in outing the government, although Anzar party was leading before the bombing, that did show where was the popular vote, Berlusconi if he wanted to save his neck should by your Spanish logic be criticising Bush not endorsing him? Blair will sweep through next elections, no two ways about it, out of five major powers China, Russia and Brits along with the USA are totally behind this campaign to eradicate global terror. Mr; Chirac other day was lamenting what a tragedy its going to be if world becomes a single language world, this was on loss of French influence to English taking global stage as a language of internet, although Spanish is also gaining momentum. French are suffering from multiple complexes loss of Napoleonic respect from Europe, loss of cultural influence being challenged by new global culture represented by the Satrbucks and Haagen-Dazs’s of the world, in this new world your candidate Kerry ‘summiteers’ are lonely and aloof, will Chirac Schroeder and Kerry if he is the President going to resolve the wrong war by waling away throwing the precarious balance of ME to the dogs of OBL/ Zarqavi. Lately even Kerry has moved to the right of the war issues not left; you liberal followers are day dreaming. The world of wisdom is on one side and world of wishes on the other, your candidate represents world of wishes! Realities are different from wishes, the new realism will dictate responses to global challenges, they are of course difficult but the only solutions. Remember this, the idea today was..No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Kerry claims Bush let Osama walk ‘out the back door’ PUEBLO, Colorado: Democratic hopeful John Kerry on Saturday accused President George W Bush of letting Osama bin Laden slip "out the back door" and of waging a scare campaign to make voters reelect him. Kerry, in Colorado probing what Democrats think could be a weak point in Bush’s core support 10 days before the election, hit back a day after his rival aired a menacing ad featuring prowling wolves which branded him weak on terror. The senator from Massachusetts hammered away at Bush’s claims that only he could be trusted to head off future terror attacks on the United States, saying the president let bin Laden escape in the Afghan mountains in 2001. Kerry claimed Bush had called on Afghan warlords to hunt down Osama and not used US troops for the hazardous task, weeks after the September 11 attacks, a charge already denied by the Bush administration. "Osama bin Laden just walked out the back door," he said at a rally here. And Kerry hit back at claims by Bush that he has fundamentally misunderstood the battle against terrorism. "The President keeps going around the country trying to scare people. He talks about only one thing, it’s terrorism, the war on terrorism. "I am prepared to have that fight because I can wage a better war on terrorism than George Bush has." Kerry told an estimated 15,000 strong crowd gathered on a crisp morning around a restored 19th century railroad station that they should not heed Bush’s "scare" tactics. "Vote your hopes and not the fears that President George W Bush wants to feel," he said. Kerry unusually interrupted the opening paragraphs of his stump speech to hand the microphone to his daughter Vanessa, who is taking a year out from medical school to campaign for him. "This is the man who told me wake up every day and try to make somebody’s life better," she told the cheering crowd, before embracing her father. Her appearance came as Kerry tries to improve his standing among women voters, among whom his support lags behind that of Al Gore in 2000. Kerry’s appearance in Colorado, the state of his birth, was partly designed to court the state’s 200,000 Hispanic voters, who in a tight race could decide not just who wins the state, or in some scenarios, even the presidency itself. "This is absolutely the most important election of our lifetime," Kerry said, then gave it a go in Spanish, intoning: "esta es la eleccion mas importante de nuestras vidas."
