>Honestly, if Kerry were in Bush's shoes during 9-11, would have done a better job?!!! This to me should be the issue with regards to Kerry!
Kerry voted against the first gulf war, voted against the pershing missles in Europe and voted for the nuclear freeze. That pretty much tells you what he understands about strategic issues.
Not only would Kerry not have performed well on 9-11 ( though I have no doubt he would have outperformed Al Gore or Bill Clinton ), had he been president in the 80s we would still be dealing with the soviet union ( and Marcos would probably have hung on a lot longer in the Philippines - I am sure you know the role Paul Wolfewitz played in all that. Odd how he is depicked a some right-wing war monger when in fact he is one of the greatest defenders and proponents of democracy in American government in the last 20 years.)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
