He was a junior senator at the time. I appreciate your challenge of the status quo and believe it has its place but to dismiss his efforts in this matter is to reveal your own bias. There were probably more convictions of officials in the Bush 1 presidency than any other presidency (save for Reagan) Those convictions came out of Kerry's work. It's more than a simple twist of fate that key players were pardoned. Are you gonna lay that at Kerry's feet as well?

Your second paragraph I am in complete agreement with. It's HIGH time the word PEACE was in any publication at the DOD other than the name of a missle (peacekeeper).

Actually the big issue in the Middle East and the one that other nations care more about than oil is water. Oil was the icing on the cake for this war. The Tigres/Euphrates river running through the nation probably had more to do with long term goals for domination in the region than anything.

As to yor final paragraph...fair enough but we can probably both admit we don't know for sure.

You justify forms of government all the time that have failed miserably...
