You are making a good point, Caroline, but the problem is that an attack is probably going to happen, whoever is in the WH. Now, should that occur would you rather have a guy there who would coldly assess the situation, assemble military team and deliver most effective blow against the perpetrators and their sponsors, or somebody who would take a opinion poll as to what to do next and/or run to Kofi and Chirac to ask for a permission to issue a condemnation of the attack?

I will grant you that with the appeasing policies such an attack is more probable on Kerryís watch, but it is going to be a very cold comfort to turn to all my intellectual sophisticated friends and say: you reap what you sow.

I do not intend to bury myself in my little life if Kerry wins. I am thinking about volunteering for the CA GOP, and God knows that would be totally new experience for me (in principle, I am a libertarian and I share Mark Twainís opinions about politicians).
