I hate to say this but he is probably riight about where this is going. Terrorists like drug pushers won't go away in our lifetime if you ask me. They are always around and their being a nuisance is probably the ultimate outcome of this conflict. We won't eradicate them, like the lowly roach, they will survive.

I know that doesn't echo our talking point today but I have to say I do believe he is right.

But treating terrorists like a "nuisance" is what emboldened them to launch their jihad on American soil. Kerry wants to go back to treating terrorism as a law enforcement issue, as Clinton did. And he wants to go back to "diplomacy," talking endlessly to heads of state who are completely untrustworthy, while the terrorists are comfortably ensconced within their borders.

Maybe someday we can go back to diplomacy, but only after the terrorist harborers know that there will be a price to be paid if they are lying.

Disagree. Bush made a correct and bold decision when he decided not to treat terrorists as a mere nuisance, but to declare war on terrorists and terrorism and to prosecute the war with extreme prejudice wherever we have to.

sKerry doesn't get it. And it sounds like you don't either.
