#1 So in other words, back to the status quo ante - very good news for our enemies.

#2 Would this status quo also include babes in the Oval Office?

#4 This shows the fundamental flaw: nothing could be more vital to US interestes than functional free democracies in this region. Its the only thing that will ever put an end to fundamentalist terrorists in that region.

As usual, the Dems are in a "whats in it for me, NOW" mode, as are others who agree with them. They are being short sighted, and unwilling to live up to the long comittment and the absence of instant gratification required to truly build a free world...

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

That sounds more like GW Bush than it does JF Kerry.

Hey JF Kerry and Ted Kennedy: what the hell ever happened to the Democratic party that produced a man with words like those, or the ones following? You ever want to get me back to the Democratic Pary, you will ahve to go back to those principals - the same ones the Republicans have made their own when you abandoned them and your moral center.

"The same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God."

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. ... With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own. "

#5 And one more word for Mr Kerry from the real JFK - a reminder that "how long it takes" should not be a factor...

"All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin."

Its called Doing the Right Thing, because its RIGHT - not because its politically expedient or the polls support it.

(All above quotes are from JF Kennedy's inauguration speech).
