Spreading Domocracy - or Capitalism?
So Bush says we cannot win the war on terror, then flip-flops and says we can. What a hypocrite!
The latest quote is that we will win the war on terror by spreading democracy. (Or did McCaine say this? Who cares!) The good news, I guess, is that we will no longer be supporting dictators, right? Only democracies.
Personally, I don't think spreading democracy will make us any safer. What they probably mean is spreading american capitalism will do so - by making the rest of the world into couch potatoes like us. Like that will stop someone who HATES american capitalism because it corrupts his religion!
What WILL help in the fight against terrorism is making this a fight that the rest of the world participates in - not just an american war. That's what Kerry wants to do.
Now, I don't love Kerry - too wishy-washy, too inarticulate - he needs to learn to give a decent SOUNDBITE. Maybe he needs new speech writers - like Bush does.
What a bunch of LOSERS!
