Reply #13: Who or what would I be baiting?

[John BigBootay]

I think there is an argument that negotiating from a position of strength has possible merits. Have I snared you with my logic trap?

Whether we are for or against the war in Iraq-- it is now a historical fact. Does it give any advantage at the negotiating table?

Should Kerry be elected, will the war be a liability in his work with these new emerging nuclear threats or a hinderance? Will it make his job easier in approaching Iran (as I believe he should) to PEACEFULLY persuade them to disarm. Is it possible that "speak softly but carry a big stick" is pertainent today?

I know Iraq is a sore subject around here, but it is a fact. JFK is not hiding from it or trying to wish it into the cornfield. Can he get some use out of it at the negotiating table? Simple question.
