...loved turning on the TV to see Sec. Kerry everywhere! I caught a couple of the interviews and two things were clear to me:

1) Kerry was steadfast in his position about not sending American troops into Iraq.

2) Most of the reporters covering Iraq have been so steeped in the old Iraq policy of the neocons (McCain, et al) that they are struggling to understand the Obama/Kerry policy. They keep repeating that it is unclear when it's not... not to me anyway.

This is a different approach to the ME that begins with listening, respect and a focus on political solutions to problems that arise before resorting to warfare.

I think that's pretty simple and clear to understand.

Edited to add...
I think the part about John Lennon is hilarious!
