Kerry more popular abroad? I don't think so...
If Kerry is serious about his belief that he is more popular abroad, as supported by various polls and surveys, why hasn't he used his influence with these other countries to get support to help end what he calls "a crisis of historic proportions"?
Could it be that he doesn't actually have any influence?
Hypothetically, lets say he does. Lets say he has had his secret meetings with Jacques Chirac, Gerhard Schroder, and Kofi Annan, and they assured him that they will support him fully. Let’s say all of Kerry’s boasts are true and he can fix out relations with other nations.
I can think of no better way for Kerry to prove to the American people than for him to go off, meet with the French, and conduct foreign policy that will improve our horrid plight.
I know some may think that Kerry cannot do that. After all, he is not president – yet. But I don’t accept this reasoning though.
After all, Kerry was still on inactive duty as a commissioned officer when he went to Paris in May of 1970 and met with the Vietcong – for those that were are young and went to public school, we were still at war with the Vietcong in 1970 – which is very close if not over the line of a willful act of treason.
If Kerry has no fear of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Navy’s Judge Advocate General which could have charged him with giving comfort to the enemy and is a capitol crime(1), then why would he not show is character; show himself as someone that could not help but lead, and bring his allies and friends, the French, into Iraq and save us from ourselves?
In the same way Jimmy Carter went off half cocked and saved us from ourselves by fixing that nuclear threat we had in North Korea back in 1994, Kerry could save us in Iraq... if he had some influence over his friends.
Kerry more popular abroad? I don't think so. If he was he would evidence it in actions and that would get him elected in a landslide.
The socialists of the world may well fear Bush, but who ever said that was a bad thing?
