Why Kerry would be bad for America.

27jd - by not rashly making an assualt on the mosque, we are protecting american lives. An assault on the mosque would entail a huge backlash which could cause ordinary citizens to support terrorists throughout the ENTIRETY of the muslim world. We are not being sensitive to the terrorists we are being sensitive to the civilians and those the terrorists are terrorising. While it may in the end be necessary to assault the mosque it is not an action that can be entered into lightly. By far the best that could be hoped for is the capitulation of Al Sadr and barring that an attack by Iraqi forces. If American troops enter the mosque, even if there is no damage it will be a very bad thing. Its time for the Iraqis to step up to the plate to ensure that is not necessary.

mwm1331,

Amen to that, right now the whole thing about the mosque is making regular Iraqi civilians to take side and they will take the side of their countrymen after all they are all Arabs.

The problem is the way US is tagging this people as terrorist, yes is terrorist in their ranks but how can you put them apart when they are all bundle up together for the same cause and right now this cause is fight for their beliefs.

This problem in Iraq is a mess and I feel that our government should stop putting our troops on harms way an accept their mistake and bring them home, let the clerics and other groups in Iraq take care, destroy or rebuild get together or kill each other is their land. Our troops did his job and did it well, Sadam is out now let the people take over.

This people has been around even before somebody smell new world in this site of the ocean.

Now mr. kerry wants to allow Iran to keep its Nuclear programs as long as it promises to give up its bomb making fuel. But can Iran be trusted to keep its promises?
This is what i mean by Kerry being bad for America, he is so anxious to appease our adversaries that he is willing to jepordise America. Is there anyone here who thnks that Iran would hesitate to devolp Nuclear weapons in secret and sell them to Al Queda?

What noone else think not stopping Iran from attaining Nuclear technology is a bad idea?

How is that an example of apeasement?
In exchange they would be relinquishing the ability to create nuke grade uranium. The way to guarantee nuclear safety is through transparency not through rhetoric. If we act beligerent we only supply the fundies in Iran with more reason to crack down on progressives and succeed in hindering the passage of Iran into the free world. If you drop a frog into a pot of hot water he will jump out and escape, but if you place him into a pot of cool water but slowly raise the temperature you can boil him without him even knowing it! Slow steady pressure is key.

I see no problem with Iran investing in alternate energy sources. So what they have alot of oil, they wont have it forever. You start saving for retirement while your young and still have a job, not the week before.

Supporting Kerry would without a doubt make our allies happy�.and it would free the position of president to concentrate on domestic policy as he would hand over control of the military to foreign powers�this could be a good thing or bad, what say you?
