My point is, why do we need to look any further than Afghanistan as a model. We supposedly started the job, why not finish it properly? Why couldn't that set an example in a key region that has needed stabilization for decades? No resources to be gained, and an honset good faith attempt to do the right thing. Or is that the problem?
As for Kerry, I can't really argue with you there except that American's themselves changing their leadership sends the world a message that we as a country really do care about these issues and want to do the right thing.
That could be achieved by Kerry or Carrotop, but not by Bush at this point. You love him or hate him, thats the way the world feels, not just us. Sad that it has come to that.
