Yes, you better get your mind around it and if you think Kerry can deal with it, then by all means vote for him.

I personally don't think he can.

I agree that this is the most dangerous issue before us in this election cycle. And, to be honest, if Mr. Bush had been effective in addressing this issue I might support his continued presidency. Unfortunately.....he has not. I do not feel any safer today than I did when I woke up on 9/12, mostly because my borders are not secure, and we have wasted, Yes I sad "Wasted" our resources on an illegal war, in a country that posed minimal threat to our security. I am seriously dissapointed in the leadership of my country, and have decided to attempt to correct what I see as a continuing cycle of terrible judgement in the only way I see possible. Removing the leadership in question.
I doubt Mr. Kerry will be able to repair the damage we have done to ourselves, It is unlikely any president could. But I would very much like to stop the damage from increasing, as it WILL, under Bush. If there is anyone who actually considers this to have been a good four years for America, I ask that you evaluate what has been done, Really been acomplished to protect your country after 9/11.
