I will be supporting Kerry as strongly as I can down the line -- anything is preferable to the current disaster in the White House. However, I can see the dilemma that he is currently in. If he attacks Bush directly and firmly for the Iraq incursion, he places our troops there in even greater jeopardy than they are now in. He has to pick off some of those red states and it is all to easy now to portray a critic of the administration as endangering our men and women manifestly at great risk. Were I in his place, I would be pacing things more or less the way he is now -- indicating that the U.S. should turn things back to international standards of behavior and control ASAP. Whether that is now possible is another question. The Bush administration has grotesquely soiled the diapers of that approach that we should have taken from the get go. I think we (and Kerry) will have to see how things are developing -- patiently -- before establishing a plan of action that can actually work. We shall see. With Rumsfeld now in Iraq anything might happen. What a g-d awful mess! One almost feels sympathy for an ex-frat president who is probably beginning to realize that he has been had and has completely blown it. -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."
