photon,

I totally agree. People like Kerry rely on magical slogan-thinking like “Internationalization” and “Get our Allies on Board”. I would not be surprised to see a shrine to the UN in Kerry’s campaign airplane — he genuflects in that direction so frequently. In the real world, the UN refuses common-sense security advice from the US Marines, gets bombed, then turns tail and runs.

Bush actually goes out there and gets folks like Musharref and Khadaffi to roll over. Bush goes out there and liberates 50 million arabs to start draining the swamp. The Kerry program is hopelessly naive, the Bush plan is adaptable and realistic, although visionary.
