Reply #174: STAND-UP NO.That would be martyrdom. What you suggest

[Pallas180]

above is not only foolish - (Kerry is no Bill Clinton and could never
pull it off) but it would be total suicide.

If he promised to deliver real foreign aid to try and relive suffering aboard while using forfeited profits of the criminal regime to rebuilt the social safety net at home.<[/i>

Yes he might get shot.Yes his plane might crash.

But you surmise it would accomplish nothing.I summarize it would begin to restore dignity to democracy, and light the fire beneath every American that has felt there is something wrong for a long time but weren't sure what it was.

That would be heroic.

There is nothing wonderful about being a dead hero. Dead heroes cannot lead people.

You don't seem to have an understanding of the American mentality.

When John Kennedy was killed it kicked the wind out of the people of this nation. He was much loved by the people. And hope died.
Optimism died.

Then brother Robert ran for President. Not all, but many Americans came alive again with hope. Hope for fairness, for equality, for justice, for the "right" thing to be done. I assume you know the end of that story.

For Black people the death of Martin Luther King had the same affect.

From Robert Kennedy's death in 1968 to about 1993 all hope for fairness and concern for "the little man, the working man" in the liberal and democratic community was dead.

Bill Clinton did not excite the people until after about a year they
saw that he was really doing the "right" things. Even with a Congress
against him and the entire judicial and republican and media system trying "to do him in"(and now we know they were members of Bildenberg and NWO, but we didn't then) he managed to do many good things for the people of the country, for the economy, for the environment. He also did a couple of not so wonderful things, I think as compromises offered to the rethuglicans.

25 years after an assassination of a beloved figure for the people of the country to recover.

Do you really think Kerry and/or Edwards should put themselves in a position to destroy the hopes of the common man of America for another
25 years?

Without offense meant to you, this is an extremist philosophy, more in line with Wahabbeeism or being a Kamikaze or Palestinian.

We prefer our heroes to live to fight another day.
