So, what did everybody think? This debate was my first (missed last yr's) and I enjoyed it. I liked how they were both respectful to each other and professional. No sighing, making facial expressions, slouching etc. I can't wait for the vp debates. :) XOXO.

Funding for Veterans up 27%, But Democrats Call It A Cut
Money for Veterans goes up faster under Bush than under Clinton, yet Kerry accuses Bush of an unpatriotic breach of faith.
February 18, 2004
In the Feb. 15 Democratic debate, Kerry suggested that Bush was being unpatriotic: “He’s cut the VA (Veterans Administration) budget and not kept faith with veterans across this country. And one of the first definitions of patriotism is keeping faith with those who wore the uniform of our country.”
It is true that Bush is not seeking as big an increase for next year as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs wanted.

Start with Korea. Remember who the US instated as the ruler there in the 1950's? How about Viet Nam? Who did the US put in power in the south? You'll find a long list of dictators or military juntas (same thing) but no freedom. Try Chilé with Pinochet but remember that the US helped remove the democratically elected Allendé first and there is quite a list for Central American countries as well. How about the Phillipines? Remember Amanda Marcos and her shoes?
Would seem to me that many countries that now have a semblance of freedom have only themselves to thank. I believe the same will be true for Irag. They might get freedom down the line but they will have themselves to thank, not the misguided efforts of a world power.

Where do you get your ridiculous claims? Iran and N. Korea have been ramping up since we have been stuck in Iraq.
You said "Under a sKerry campaign, a muslim nation hostile to the US will be given the capability to produce nukes, thereby arming them to decimate non-muslim nations"
This is absolutely ridiculous and I challenge you to prove that statement.
