In a Parallel Universe Called 'What If' (Kerry elected, Kofi Annan says Bush to be tried by ICC)

Town Hall ^ | April 10, 2004 | Kathleen Parker [Tribune Media Services]

President-elect John F. Kerry's rise to the nation's highest office came as little surprise following almost four years of remonstrations against President George W. Bush for his bizarre attack on the defenseless people of Afghanistan.

Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, was the right man for a nation outraged by the Bush administration's pre-emptive war, which, it now seems clear, was based on highly speculative intelligence that Saudi Arabian-born terrorist Osama bin Laden was planning an attack on the United States.

Good point.

The final paragraph of this brilliant article is simply breathtaking.

In a flourish of irony and the spirit of bon vivant for which the new president is widely known, Kerry gave his acceptance speech from Windows on the World, the elegant restaurant atop the World Trade Center's Tower One.

Do Townhall articles have to be excerpted?

Yes that closing para is great, and maybe not but soon all articles will soon be excerpted.

Oops. Didn't notice your post #5.

One of the reasons that I asked about excerpting was because I was prompted to read it on the website of a local radio talkshow host, and he had posted the whole article.
