Kofi Annan said today that the UN would not be going back into Iraq until the security situation is stable. Bush requested international assistance several times, again today, and no country has volunteered additional troops. How would Kerry succeed in convincing these countries or the UN to commit troops given their stated positions?

As usual, I 'quite' agree with you. But for me I think Kerry would get a better chance than Bush.

Europeans are very conscious how critical the situation is and what is at stake in Iraq.
Now, NO ONE wants to commit with a guy who's been litterrally pissing on us for months and who makes blunder after blunder. Have you heard Bush parading in the UN today? Invading iraq was a blunder of historical, unprecedented magnitude. It took something like a whole year for Bush to admit that they was more than just "a few foreign terrorists" .. now I do not think he had the lucidity to utter the word "uprising". A today what do we hear ... just a quote "We've accomplished much in the last year" when i read that I just see red.

Now, should we change our policy and actively support Bush? This guy is unable to make a proper decision, he is unable to assess a situation. At best he's an idiot, no doubt the most dangerous man alive.
Should we send our soldiers to be killed in Iraq? This is not only idiotic but impossible. No european public opinion will allow this. Even the brits are pulling out now.

Now Kerry would be no magic man, iraq is incredebly messed up... but at least you get someone clever you can talk to and who has the ability to listen. That is not going to change the world situation : were're with a single nation with a disproportionate military power.. and willing to use it in the most stupid way possible.

And reading this forum regularly, you might find europe-bashing and hatred of france a normal thing, Mira. Well THIS IS NOT A NORMAL THING. No one in europe and many other countires will work with an administration so full of contempt.

but I'm getting away from topic... you now the polls, Bush is ahead and stands the best chance to get re-elected.

For me the big news of the thread is : americans will have a choice.
I've been asking again and again here what the difference between Bush and Kerry was over Iraq. To no avail.

So if there is a difference, if there is a choice, if the election is about the real issue in the world today... That's news.
