Massive debt, many areas ravaged by unemployment, sounds like economic problems to me.

If not for Bush's invasion, they'd be living in Iraq, not shooting at Americans, who wouldn't be there. A vast majority are only "raising hell" because of the occupation. We're already low on bullets, and you will never run out of "bad guys". Terrorism is a tactic and an idea, and cannot be overtly destroyed, especially not by force.

That was also before the Industrial and Information Revolutions. Things move much faster now. I know that things can't be done overnight, but you also have to understand that American's fought their own revolution. Were an Islamic country to invade America to relieve us of the Bush Regime, I'm sure there would be a mass insurgency and there would be a quagmire. You have to look at the times and the culture before relating things.

Yes, Teddy Kennedy has made grave mistakes in his past, as have Bush and his "toadies."

Kerry did his duty to his country by reporting atrocities that happened during Vietnam. It is not his fault if people took his testimony ignorantly, but he was in fact supported by many, many vets against the war. Because he favors peace over war certainly does not make him a bad person, in fact, it makes him better that many.

What parts of his record are you referring to?
