#1 "Acheson's blunder wasn't in thinking what he did; it was in not recognizing that public pronouncements made by people in power can affect the judgments and behavior of adversaries. John Kerry, in trying to appeal for votes by distinguishing himself from President Bush in any way possible, has just made the same horrible mistake. It was an unforgivable lapse, and let us hope we don't someday pay a terrible price for it."

If he ends up being our president, we most certainly will.

This is the first really serious attempt I've seen to analyze the possible consequences of a Kerry victory; and it only scratches the surface. So far most commentators, fascinated by the daily rough-and-tumble of the campaign, haven't gotten beyond conjecture about whether Kerry will win. They, and we, need to start pondering what will happen if he does.

It won't be pretty.
