I'm more concerned with how Kerry would rally allies. Is he going to risk our competitive economic and military advantage? I don't believe America should worry about this, at least as long as there are people in Europe, and the world, who want to make money.

Also, not stomping away from International Treaties is a good thing too. If there are problems with a large international treaty that everyone has worked for years and years on, you sit down and work out those problems. You do not leave in a huff like Bush did.

Not an issue. Bush wins, Kerry makes concession speech, and life settles down. Kerry wins, Bush makes concession speech, headlines until Kerry inauguration, and life settles down.

This tract really is ridiculous. No incumbent would ever in his/her right mind admit directly an error in judgement during an election year. There were many criticisms of the US government and allies in post-WWII Germany. There is never a perfect way for such things. As long as the person isn't punching a hole in the wall when criticized, I could care less about how someone takes criticism.

No more honest, no less honest. Right now Kerry's campaign is attempting to smear Bush over the missing explosives in Iraq, when they know full well that the explosives were missing before US forces went in.

Re: WMDs in Iraq, if the leader of my country used information that was not accurate (knowingly or unkowingly) I'm okay with that. There are times that the "ends justify the means." I prefer my enemies cautious and nervous, rather than comfortable and plotting.

Additionally, the fact is the War in Iraq has distracted us from going after Terrorists and it has in fact caused more hatred and resentment of America in the Arab world. This has increased the number of terrorists, not decreased them.
