As far as back bone goes, there are too many examples of US presidents about whom the same was said as you have about Kerry. They proved the sceptics wrong, Truman was one of them. They say that religion is on the right side of American politics, but this is a bigger leap of faith than anything I have seen on the right. Hope is not a strategy. BTW, Truman was never a waffler who took every side of a controversial issue. The charge against Truman was that he was a parochial product of the Pendergast machine, which had considerable truth to it. As it turned out, Truman had a sense of what was right and considerable spine to implement it. A man like Kerry, who caves in the face of even brief blasts of criticism, could never have fired General MacArthur like Truman did.
