Why would the world follow Kerry in helping in Iraq if Kerry thinks the war was a mistake? That is an EASY ONE!
The world already KNOWS that invading Iraq was a mistake. They agree with Kerry. Bush's insistence that they see things his way makes helping Bush politically impossible.
Luckily, Kerry won't try to make the case that Bush made the right choices. He'll focus on the fact that the fisasco happened and that it is in nobody's interest to see things get even worse.
"Help me clean up this mess" will resonate better than Bush's message of "Endorse how and why I went to war and join me in legitimizing this disaster."
