Reply #124: Well, I'm kinda round like a mole, but lots bigger. I will admit to

being old and senile, and prone to take great risks with someone else's campaign. But no, I do have Kerry's interests at heart. I want him to win. He is not clearly winning now, and he is clearly losing the debate over Iraq. I want to change that.

I am a former Dean supporter who has opposed this war from day one, and my frustration level with the DLC, be nice to Bush, wing of the Dem party is driving me up a wall. I'll plead guilty to that.

But I am dead serious about these ideas.

1. We should leave if the Iraqis don't want us there. What is so radical about that???

2. We should stop sending American soldiers into battle when they cannot fire until fired upon and they cannot tell friend from foe. I'll bet every soldier's mother would agree with that. Don't you??

3. I believe leaders should engage other leaders, even enemy leaders, in dialog. Kennedy did it with Kruschoff. What is so unimaginable about that??

Are you sure you haven't internalized Shrub's world vision of how to fight terrorism? I haven't. I'm trying to think for myself.
