Kerry Says He Will Repair Damage [Kerry writes Islamic Republic's English Newspaper]
Tehran Times ^ | 2/8/04 | Tehran Times

WASHINGTON (Mehr News Agency) -- The office of Senator John Kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an e-email saying that Kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows.

As Americans who have lived and worked extensively overseas, we have personally witnessed the high regard with which people around the world have historically viewed the United States. Sadly, we are also painfully aware of how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of both parties over many decades and put many of our international relationships at risk.

It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

We are convinced that John Kerry is the candidate best qualified to meet this challenge. Senator Kerry has the diplomatic skill and temperament as well as a lifetime of accomplishments in field of international affairs. He believes that collaboration with other countries is crucial to efforts to win the war on terror and make America safer.

An understanding of global affairs is essential in these times, and central to this campaign Kerry has the experience and the understanding necessary to successfully restore the United States to its position of respect within the community of nations. He has the judgment and vision necessary to assure that the United States fulfills a leadership role in meeting the challenges we face throughout the world.

The current Administration's policies of unilateralism and rejection of important international initiatives, from the Kyoto Accords to the Biological Weapons Convention, have alienated much of the world and squandered remarkable reserves of support after 9/11. This climate of hostility affects us all, but most especially impacts those who reside overseas. Disappointment with current U.S. leadership is widespread, extending not just to the corridors of power and politics, but to the man and woman on the street as well.

We believe John Kerry is the Democrat who can go toe-to-toe against the current Administration on national security and defense issues. We also remain convinced that John Kerry has the best chance of beating the incumbent in November, and putting America on a new course that will lead to a safer, more secure, and more stable world.

Yes. Kerry was one of the 95 Senators who voted against Kyoto.
Thanks! Your memory or do you have a link?

What I know is that if he wins the office, he will talk with the Mad Mullahs of Tehran and it is very harmful for the movement inside Iran.

Great find and post Windchime.

freedom44, DoctorZIn; F14 Pilot, you three need to get this complete document stored in as many servers as you can.

I can guarantee you that this will disappear very quickly. Whenever we find something this on a left wing site or phoney conservative site and post the info on Free Republic, it will often just disappear in to electronic limb.

Gentlemen here is one for your files. Store the complete message where you store such goodies. This will disappear.

Take note of the names of those who co signed this piece of treason, like our old buddy Wilson who outed his CIA file clerk wife, the Plame.

Many of these names have appeared before on lies, new mantras and WMDs, (WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION) used by the Lunatic Left.

I'm sure that this comes as no surprise to Aloha Ronnie, Ron Dog and Phil Dragoo who have some great documentation on the Traitor Kerry.

The world loved us because we were perceived as a victim.Once we fought back and won the Afghanistan war,we no longer had that great reservoir of good will.

US as a victim of 911 on knees=good country.

US strong and fighting back with success=baaad!
