Kerry: Gaining Edge on Terror
72
Sun, 07-25-2004 - 6:35pm

"Senator John Kerry said on Friday he would seek to persuade voters over the next three months that he would do a "better job than George Bush" in protecting the nation from terrorism..." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/politics/campaign/25KERR.html?ei=5065&en=789ba5a17982cc66&ex=1091332800&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print&position=


"In response to a question, Mr. Kerry said he has given no thought to the possibility of a terrorist attack taking place in the midst of the presidential campaign. "I don't think about it; I can't control it," he said." http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2004/07/i_cant_conrol_i.html


He certainly can inspire confidence.

Maybe you didn't read my last sentence. It was sarcastic.. You were claiming they were not allies, so I was claiming the relationship was not strained and that pigs can fly. I guess that didn't come across in my post.

You are referring to my comments about Patton and MacArthur?

I was referring that hindsight has shown those to military commanders to be absolutely right about the impending threat that each country faced during the time that each commander warned the US about them.

Communism is in some ways a form of Government sanctioned slavery.

Yes....everyone in the country owns everything, but nobody makes any money and many live in poverty (at least in the USSR this was the case for a majority of the people).

I am referring to the fact that we may consider the French to be our allies, but they truly are our allies when it is convenient for them alone.

Lately, our system is consistantly bogged down and overbloated....

Yes, it was horrible in Canada too. It did end earlier however and was much less prevalent, but that doesn't excuse it in any way. I'm personally ashamed that it is part of our history.

Quite true, and slaves in the Maritimes were sold to American Colonists once they were no longer needed was the start of the end of slavery there.

<< << However bad communism was, it doesn't compare to the horrors of slavery. >>

Yes, slavery is an abomination, but how do you feel about Stalin? >>

Yes, we can agree he was horrible to say the least, but my asking the question came from your comparing communism & slavery. I'd say killing millions of people is a rather huge horror, too. Communism on a bad day was very brutal.
