No question that Kerry is a decent guy. But he blew it in the campaign. Especially the question about whether knowing what we do now, would he still invade Iraq. He said yes. Even someone with a smattering of politics would have told him that a smarter answer would have been to say that no, he would not have gone into Iraq, but would have redoubled his commitment to Afghanistan to catch bin Laden et al, to stabilize and develop and modernize the country and so on. I saw with great admiration, footage of a younger Kerry testifying to Congress about the Vietnam war 30+ years ago. Sadly, that Kerry, bold and honest and passionate and forthright, was nowhere to be seen during last year's campaign.
