On foreign policy I do have more in common with the Realists and less in common with NeoCons like you, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, George Bush etc, etc,

But rather than say I have something in common with John Kerry, I would say I have something in common with republicans like Kissinger, Scowcroft, Baker, Zoellick, Powell, GHW Bush, Lugar etc and democrats like Zbig, Kerry, Sam Nunn, etc.

Ben, a realist recognizes what a lack of military preparedness resulted in as it relates to WWI and WWII.

We can all toss out names until we’re blue in the face. Reagan was the type of realist I respect. He saw what a lack of military preparedness resulted in across the board. He refused to allow it during his tenure.

The fact is, John Kerry does approve of dismantling our military. And the fact is, the dismantling that has already taken place, has resulted in military adventurism in the same place it did twice last century.

Why do you think this military adventurism won’t lead to the same things that took place in WWI and WWII?

If Russia were to take over Europe, how many weeks do you think it would be before he would be expanding into South America, via insurgent groups and people like Manuel Ortega or Fidel Castro types?

Where do you wish to draw the lines, our borders? Do you really wish to see all future global wars fought on U. S. soil against the whole rest of the world?
