"The only time I see reason for the use of force is to wipe out a group bent on ethnic cleansing of any type. If a group is founded on hatred for a group of people based on the colour of their skin, what god they worship, or how they practice love then the foundation of that group is flawed and puts them in a position that cannot be negotiated with. Until it is made clear to the world that the position of that group is inflexible in its mandate to cleanse the world of a particular group then negotiations should be attempted."
Please explain to me why you think Al Qaeda is different. Most terrorists attack other because of their religion. Al Qaeda is no different. They hate what we are, what we stand for and some of the things we've done in the middle east. They kill us because of their warped religious view. Please tell me how negotiations can take place with Al Qaeda successfully, i'm sure the U.S. government would love to know.
"As a voter I would have liked to hear more about his years as a senator because that shows actual involvement in government processes."
Kerry doesn't want his years as a senator brough up because the way he's acted has a senator has been disgraceful. Has Kerry ever once been on the right side of history? Well, he did vote to go to Iraq (the second time, not the first) but then again he voted not to support the troops while over there. Sure, some of you may buy into his "I actually did vote for it before I voted against it" bit, but Kerry knew if he voted against it the troops would not get the money/equipment needed in time. That's why there were very few democrats with the nerve to vote against it.
