Debate

I saw the end of the last debate tonight. It really struck me - these guys aren't going to have very different policies. With respect to the war on terror, they more or less seem to have the same position. Kerry just says that Bush handled it wrong in the past, but that he'll stay the Bush course. I kind of think this is a bullshit position. If you want to challenge the war, challenge the war, and call it illegitimate, not smart, or whatever you believe and stand by it. I feel like Kerry is trying to have it both ways - not alienating the war supporters by promising to stay the course, but appeasing the anti-war folks by saying Bush did this and that wrong. I don't really know if his position is legitimate.
