From a strictly political point of view, I think this was a tactical error on Kerry's part. It's a bad idea to beat up on Allawi. How can Kerry pretend to know more about what is going on in Iraq than Allawi?
Kerry is well on his way to making new allies in the world ...
You know...Kerry is like a car wreck...you don't want to look but you can't help yourself. The only difference I see is that when I pass a car wreck, I hope the person is alive and well. Can't say the same about Kerry.
Mr. Kerry sit down and shut the hell up!
More and more I think his foreign policy perambulations are mostly from his mind.
He claims he himself thought up the "W is for Wrong" theme - inspired by a vision of a "W" viewed through a bus window. Not kidding.
The DRONE has yet to visit Iraq.
The sissy is also a coward.
Kerry won't go near Quaker Oats.
It's shot from guns.
Only if the Holiday Inn Express has 5 stars and a suite with a sauna and full mini bar......
Giving comfort to the ENEMY!
Let's see who in the media question John Kerry's ability to better guage day to day life in Iraq that its Prime Minister. And I thought David Gregory was going to have a hissy fit and call Bush a "big meanie liar head." I actually wish Bush had more press conferences so we could see these reporters make asses of themselves more often. Heck, the Iraqi speaking reporter made more sense to me than Gregory.
Aaaaaahhhh I see. Now kerry knows more about Iraq than the Prime Minister.
Makes perfect sense to me.
I'd love to know what idiot advised him to speak out on this topic. What a fool."
Has Kerry even been to Iraq? My God he knows everything about everything. We little people just don't get it.
Grrrr. He makes me sick!
Right On!

Talk delivered by Prof. Haim Harari
The events of the last few years have amplified four issues, which have always existed, but have never been as rampant as in the present upheaval in the region. These are the four main pillars of the current World Conflict, or perhaps we should already refer to it as "the undeclared World War III". I have no better name for the present situation. A few more years may pass before everybody acknowledges that it is a World War, but we are already well into it.

So what is all the fuss about suicide killings? It creates headlines. It is spectacular. It is frightening. It is a very cruel death with bodies dismembered and horrible severe lifelong injuries to many of the wounded. It is always shown on television in great detail. One such murder, with the help of hysterical media coverage, can destroy the tourism industry of a country for quite a while, as it did in Bali and in Turkey.
But the real fear comes from the undisputed fact that no defense and no preventive measures can succeed against a determined suicide murderer. This has not yet penetrated the thinking of the Western World. The U.S. and Europe are constantly improving their defense against the last murder, not the next one. We may arrange for the best airport security in the world. But if you want to murder by suicide, you do not have to board a plane in order to explode yourself and kill many people. Who could stop a suicide murder in the midst of the crowded line waiting to be checked by the airport metal detector? How about the lines to the check-in counters in a busy travel period? Put a metal detector in front of every train station in Spain and the terrorists will get the buses. Protect the buses and they will explode in movie theaters, concert halls, supermarkets, shopping malls, schools and hospitals. Put guards in front of every concert hall and there will always be a line of people to be checked by the guards and this line will be the target, not to speak of killing the guards themselves. You can somewhat reduce your vulnerability by preventive and defensive measures and by strict border controls but not eliminate it and definitely not win the war in a defensive way. And it is a war!
Aw, c'mon, man! You know there's nuance in there........somewhere........right?;/.......
