The Republicans, starting with W, of course, are trying to spin things their usual way--just keep saying John Kerry flip-flops and can't be trusted, rather than truly addressing the issues.
John Kerry showed that he is smart and strong. W tried to make it sound like he vacillated on the war in Iraq. Kerry said clearly what the real point is--W decided to piss off our allies and go it alone (except he didn't go at all, our troops did).
Whether the war in Iraq was right or wrong, there is no excuse for refusing to build a coalition. There's no excuse for not working with the UN. Our allies didn't tell us to take a hike. They told us that they wanted to give a last chance for the inspectors to do their jobs before committing to action that was certain to get thousands of people, ours and theirs, killed.
Whatever the national view of tonight's debate, I think Bush has to worry. This should have been the high point for the President, since he now has to look forward to domestic issues in the upcoming debates--not a good subject for this President.
This President needs to be replaced. I just hope enough of my fellow Americans agree!
