We are looking at a man who would make, or would have made, a perfectly decent peacetime president.

There is a decided lack of leadership about Kerry. From Vietnam, the Cold War, and up to Iraq, Kerry has defined himself more or less by what he is against, rather than by what he is for. Without a war like Vietnam or Iraq, Kerry is more or less the sound of one hand clapping. Can Hitchens be so sure Kerry would make a good "peacetime president"?
