I watched the TV as Kerry and Bush came head to head, debating and none of them really did much for me. I listened to Kerry, when he said, ” nd to win.”
In all these years, with all the wars that have happened, from the days of Pharaohs, to the Vietnam War to the wars that are happening now; the leaders all the countries in this world still have learnt a thing. No one wins.
There has always been one great enemy, and it is war that is for nothing but for men to gain power or land. You cannot win when you oppress nations for so many years, and be part of corruption to then say, “we shall kill these terrorists.”
Then my reply to Kerry and Bush, “you'll have to cut of your own hands because you fed them, made them, aided them and created the devastating plan that has backfired on you.
I kept listening to Kerry as he spoke, “America, Israel and..” I knew there and then, from what he said, from what I have told many people to read between the lines. He mentioned Israel because either he comes from the lineage of Jews or he wants their support, because they have great power in USA. He knows they are watching him.
Kerry will not bring justice for the Palestinian people or for any so-called 'Muslim Nations.' Bush didn't care, Blair didn't want to know and became a puppy lead by a wolf, and Kerry Well, Kerry has already made it clear when he put Israel side by side in his speech.
What about the world? The world doesn't know whom to believe in anymore. They are content to be angry; to be cradled into patriotic notion that they are all victims and the world out there is the enemy, and their nation is pure, their belief is pure and for the good of humanity.
Yet, many in the USA have their suspicions about 9/11. Many have suspicions about how America aids Israel with all the money and weapon of mass destruction it wants. Many in this world can in some way see the horror of it all but are so scared to even reflect upon it too much and they would rather vote for a liar than say to themselves, “these two are as bad as each other. How many have promised us this and that and haven't delivered? None of them, and Kerry will be the same.”
Watch Kerry very carefully. You though Bush was so Pro Israel, well; Kerry is going to make Bush look like a patsy.
