To me that is a far more ominous choice.

Perhaps you're right, maybe I "just don't get it"

Having said that, and I may have missed it, but where in the statement that you just quoted, did Kerry say "We should invade Iraq". He said that he voted to "disarm" Iraq. Invading and disarming are not the same thing. With all due respect - you just don't get it.
