Reply #158: Yes I agree that it would be unpatriotic

to put your career ahead of the country, but who is to say that is what has been done.

If John Kerry would have been elected, what would have been the outcome in Iraq?

Only time will tell about Iraq, but as I said before we are in such deep shit over there, I don't think any president can fix it. I think it will be near impossible to come out of it without further damage and discredit to or country.

Bush can't run for president again, unless he gets the constitution changed, and he will go down as the worst president in our history. If Kerry would have been elected president, and if my hunch is correct about him not being able to straighten out the mess in Iraq, then what would be his chances of reelection in 2008?

His chances would probably be slim to none, and then a republican would probably be back in office for 2008. Everyone would be screaming about the Dem's not knowing how to fight a war. I would like to see the Democrats in there for four years, and if Kerry would have been elected this time, I think it would have be for only one term.

Yes, you have raised an interesting point, but it would be hard to judge if this is what has happened.
