Well-said. Electing Kerry will mean the US has tossed in the towel on the war on terror. As in Vietnam, our enemy will not have defeated us; we will have defeated ourselves (proving UBL was correct -- Americans do not have the stomach for a long commitment to eradicate the terrorists). Maybe that's what people want to do, but if so, God help us.

Also, I've pointed out elsewhere that the next President will likely make four nominations to the US Supreme Court. If that President is John Kerry, we can kiss the conservative movement good-bye, as Kerry will shape the nature of the federal judiciary for the coming generation. If Kerry makes those appointments, we'll all be dead before there's another conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

True — if there ever is another conservative Supreme Court majority. After some 60 years in control of this nation's levers of power at all levels, the Left has been badly and continually burned since 1994. The hard Left never saw Clinton as one of their own, although they swallowed their pride and helped elect him twice. They thought they might finally get one of their own into the presidency in Al Gore, and that defeat was an exremely bitter pill for them.

GWB represents just about everything they oppose in government and public policy — especially as regards foreign policy. So if they succeed in actually getting a true Leftist radical (Kerry) elected this November, they will see it as urgent to turn the ship of state quickly as hard to the left as possible. A President Kerry likely would:

Put the UN in charge of Iraq.
Cave to North Korea, France, Germany, and the UN.
Sign on to all the Euro-Left's schemes to "constrain" American power.
Give up on the military approach to the War on Terror, and make it just a law enforcement problem again.
Abandon Mushaaraf and Afghanistan.
Let all the terrorists in Gitmo go.
Abandon any effort to encourage the spread of democracy in the Middle East.
Abandon the democratization movement in Iran.
Abandon Israel.
Further weaken, if not dismantle, our already weak intelligence services.
Pack the courts with radical Leftists.
Enact a bona fide blanket amnesty for illegal alients and weaken the small, but significant steps the Bush administration has been able to make to strengthen our borders.

And all of the above would just be for starters.
