:werd: I agree. When 1/2 the people protesting are looking for the legalization of pot it is hard to take them serious.

It sure is funny how you can talk about complete sentences when you can't capitalize proper nouns.

It is also ironic since in his post, he did the same thing he was criticizing.

Well I'm sorry that you don't understand irony, because that isn't it. That is hypocrisy. But they are commonly confused.

Just to clarify, irony is "an expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning".

"Launch And Lead A New Era Of Alliances
The threat of terrorism demands alliances on a global scale - to utilize every available resource to get the terrorists before they can strike at us. As president, John Kerry will lead a coalition of the able - because no force on earth is more able than the United States and its allies.

Modernize The World's Most Powerful Military To Meet New Threats
John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to transform the world's most powerful military to better address the modern threats of terrorism and proliferation, while ensuring that we have enough properly trained and equipped troops to meet our enduring strategic and regional missions.

Deploy All That Is In America's Arsenal
The war on terror cannot be won by military might alone. As president, John Kerry will deploy all the forces in America's arsenal - our diplomacy, our intelligence system, our economic power, and the appeal of our values and ideas - to make America more secure and prevent a new generation of terrorists from emerging.

Free America From Its Dangerous Dependence On Mideast Oil
To secure our full independence and freedom, we must free America from its dangerous dependence on Mideast oil. By tapping American ingenuity, we can achieve that goal while growing our economy and protecting our environment. "
This has got to be the vaguest plan I have ever read. Not to mention the fact that almost everything in it is something that President Bush is currently doing.

A "New Era of Alliances"? President Bush is already leading that one. After our old alliances have proven themselves unable to perform in ridding the world of terrorists and those that harbor and sponsor them because of the Oil for Food scanadal, so President Bush has lead, and is leading a "New Era of Alliances".

Modernize The World's Most Powerful Military To Meet New Threats? President Bush is also doing that as well. He has restructured the military that was designedto fight tank battles with the Soviets on the plains of Eastern Europe to smaller, lighter, faster moving and more easily deployable units so that they can react, when needed, to any specific threat to the US and/or our allies.

Deploy All That Is In America's Arsenal? President Bush is doing this one as well. We were able to reach a diplomatic solution to years of problems with Libya and their former biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons programs are now fully declared, dismantled, and the equipment is safe in the US. President Bush is also trying to reach a diplomatic solution with our allies in the Southern PAcific region to a non-nuclear Korean peninsula.

Free America From Its Dangerous Dependence On Mideast Oil? President Bush is doing this as well by using American ingenuity to drill our own oil reserves so that America is not reliant upon the prices that OPEC sets for oil. Bush has a very comprehensive energy bill that has been stalled in Congress, that if it had been passed when proposed would be preventing the current high gas prices we are faced with today.

So what is it Senator Kerry that you are going to do that is different from President Bush in handling the War on Terror?

Either way. I'm glad people are protesting, people still care.
True. think about how much activism has changed the world. from the founding fathers to martin luther king and gandhi, activists have made waaaayyy more of a difference than lazy conservatives who stick to their good old values and "whoop dee doo, everythings going great for us, no need to change, we're doin just fine". ignorance is bliss!
