on what basis do you base your claim that "pseudo-science" is endemic to the conservative side of the aisle? i'm not arguing that the phenomenon doesn't exist, just that both sides could be proven equally guilty... making a political statement aimed at a single side irrelevant.
i don't believe that kerry would turn iraq over to the UN... but he definitely has a different philosophy than bush has on it. in future situations, i think he is almost beholden to the UN because 1) ideologically he is more pre-disposed to such avenues 2) he has made the UNs role in international conflict a central plank in his platform making political suicide if he contradicts his campaign rhetoric.
