If we are attacked, I'm sure there will be some form of appology from Kerry. I'm half surprised there hasn't been an appology already or at least an admission that he made an impossible promise.
I guess what really surprises me is how focused so many people are on terrorism and the war on terrorism.
I can think of three terrorist attacks on American soil in my life time and one of those was perpetrated by Americans. Just because there was one freakin' huge attack here, the whole country seems to be focused on making our country safer even if it means giving up some of our rights. Personally, I believe that as long as there are extremists in the world who hold a point of view different from ours that we are in danger of a terrorist attack. The more we respond to terrorist attacks, the more effective that makes them. Personally, I'd say that Al Qaeda has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. There are now more people world wide who sympathise with them than ever before. The world has had a chance to see what extent the US will go to to force their will on other countries. The belligerent attitude of the current government is fostering more terrorists rather than defeating that attitude. I do believe that Kerry has better diplomatic skills than George W. Bush and voted for him on that merit.
This only shows me how delusional your support of Kerry is. Kerry has never appologized for a thing in his life. What makes you think he would appologize when he has Bush as a perfectly good scape goat? He's not going to admit he made an impossible promise. He made that promise to fool stupid people into thinking he can fight terror better. Just like he's trying to fool stupid black people by telling them one million black voters were not allowed to vote last election. He knows he is a liar. He doesn't care.
"The more we respond to terrorist attacks, the more effective that makes them."
Yes, the more we kill them the more powerful they become... I still don't understand this logic. People saying that we are creating more terrorists is pure opinion. Would you rather we appologize to them and bow down before them in the hopes that they maybe, just maybe might not attack us? (again, Spain proved my point there)
"Personally, I'd say that Al Qaeda has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams."
Most of the leaders of Al Qaeda are dead and the last of their opposition is being hunted down as we debate this. I wouldn't consider that a success, but yes they did succeed in killing thousands of americans. I'm sure they rejoiced when they heard the news.
Screw what the other countries think. They'll come back. They did when Reagan was in office. The world hated us just the same when Reagan stuck his nose in "europe's business". We were just as unpopular in Britain at the time. Guess what, now most people love Reagan and what he did.
Ryo, just curious but would you vote for Lieberman had he run for office?
"Sorry Kerry there is no Monday morning quarterbacking in politics."
Someone should inform Kerry right away! He's been doing this since he was elected senator.
"I have received three medals that all relate to war some how. 1. My National Defense Medal. 2. My Korea medal. 3. My Iraqi Freedom Medal. Now if I was to return home and get in front of you and lash out about how the war in Iraq was wrong and these medals are my rewards for my part in this unjust act. Then I throw them over a railing, what would you think of me? Better yet 20 years later I get in front of you again and now I talk about my leadership in battle, my time I served my country and how heroic and decorated veteran I am. What would think or say to me then?"
I'd call you a traitor to our country, same as I call Kerry a traitor.
