I disagree. Flip-Flopper said in the debate he would give nuke fuel to Iran for testing, cancel US nuclear defense programs, seek UN approval for US defense, engage bi-lateral negotiations with N. Korea, and sponsor a summit of nations to rebuild Iraq.
Bush would do none of these. Iran has already rejected Kerry's offer.
I believe this election is crucial to the defense of these United States of America. I believe it's crucial to elect a president who will sustain war against terrorists and maintain American sovereignty. There are things I would like Bush to do differently, however his policy against terrorism is solid. And that's the single-most important issue in this election, IMO.
Foreign policy will become foreign appeasement, plain and simple. Perhaps my vision is more dire than it should be, but I have deep concerns for a Kerry-led U.S.
It depends on what you and I think of "much" [change of foreign policy]. Kerry surely will talk more, just like Clinton did with Saddam and Serbia while he was distracted with cigars. Bush certainly wants to do more, but I doubt that he can. Iran and N Korea are risks to our security, no doubt about it. But what can we (I say we - referring to the West) do about Iran? Marching in? No, because it could be just like Iraq. Bombing the nuclear facilities? That´s definitely an alternative. Would Kerry and Bush both do that? From my view, properly, as a last possibility. What can we do about N Korea? I have no ideas, since we must assume that they already possess nukes and missiles to bomb Seoul. And what about Iraq? Maybe this is the only issue I would grant Kerry, hoping that I won´t be slammed too much for this sentence, because I believe that other nations just have to do more than just talking, and that Kerry could easier leave the country by the end of 2005. Until then, Iraq should be able to fight terrorism on their own, given that the West still provides help. To get back to the top, I don´t see much change from both candidates, because there´re not many alternatives. That´s why I´m not very excited about the election, even though Bush deserved a second term more than Kerry a first one. Well, that´s more than I wanted to say about YOUR election.
