16. Just in my experience...
I love John Kerry and I'm thankful for his work in the Senate.

My view is that supporting that resolution was wrong. I opposed that resolution. I think facts on the ground have confirmed that it was the wrong choice. John Kerry would have better understood his job if he had contained the threat of George Bush rather than contained the (now we know non-existent) threat of Saddam Hussein.

I looked for Kerry to explain that vote, but I never heard a satisfying explanation. To me, he still sounds like he is saying that the war in Iraq was the right policy, poorly executed.

I don't agree with that. I think the war in Iraq was the wrong policy. I agree with Wesley Clark when he calls it a "historical blunder."

But if you oppose the war and are expressing that by supporting John Kerry, more power to you! Keep up the good fight!
