DU on the same topic as my last post
Democratic Underground Forums - NYT: Many in Europe See U.S. Vote as a Lose-Lose Affair
Note that even the Democratic Underground sees the same issues, but read the entire thread:
"It is INSANE to think that just because a Dem is President, that nations that had NOTHING to do with the clusterfuck in Iraq should take ANY of the load for fixing it. It just will not happen.
So what happens when Kerry asks for troops and is denied?
And more importantly, who is to blame for leading the American people to believe that they would help?
That is why Iraq is one of Kerry's weakest points - not because Bush is better, but because Kerry has set himself an impossible goal."
And another DU weighs in:
"Watch German and French leaders change their tune if there's a clear timetable and commitments to open up the reconstruction process to European companies.
That's what it will take, along with a new appeal to the UN to provide a large multinational peacekeeping force until genuinely fair elections take place."
