I think that a President Kerry and a Republican Congress would be predictably centrist on domestic issues, so the prospect does not entirely upset me, except perhaps for the matter of federal judges. But on foreign policy -- something that the President largely controls -- I have grave doubts about Kerry's judgment, and fear that things there might get entirely out of control.
Accordingly, I would ask Kerry two questions:
Senator Kerry, after you returned from Viet-Nam, where you were highly decorated, you became an outspoken voice for the oppostion to the war. What responsibility, if any, do you feel you have for the millions who were killed by the resulting Communist governments in Viet-Nam and, particularly, Cambodia and Laos?
Senator Kerry, while you voted to give President Bush war-making authority in Iraq, you have since claimed that you intended this only as leverage, and you did not expect Bush to actually go to war. If you had been President, would Saddam Hussein and his murderous regime still rule Iraq? If not, how would you have removed them, short of war?
