| QUOTE | The Last Word: The Difference Between Them
The Difference Between Them By James Rubin
Newsweek International Aug. 9 issue - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry claims he'll fix American intelligence and make America safer at home and more respected abroad. James P. Rubin, senior foreign-policy adviser to the campaign, sat down in Detroit with NEWSWEEK's Richard Wolffe to explain what would be different under a Kerry administration. Excerpts:
....
One of the findings of the 9/11 Commission concerns Iran and its alleged support for Al Qaeda. U.S.-Iranian policy has been in the deep freeze for 25 years. How is that going to change with Kerry?
John Kerry regards an Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism armed with nuclear weapons as unacceptable. He has a multiple-part strategy that is much more realistic than the Bush administration's. One is to rejoin and work through the international legal framework on arms control. That will give greater force to the major powers if they have to deal with violators. Secondly, he has laid out, I think in the most comprehensive way in modern memory, a program to secure nuclear materials around the world—particularly in the former Soviet Union but also in the places where research reactors have existed that could be susceptible to proliferation. The point is to try to prevent Iran from ever getting this material surreptitiously. Thirdly, he has proposed that rather than letting the British, the French and the Germans do this themselves, that we together call the bluff of the Iranian government, which claims that its only need is energy. And we say to them: "Fine, we will provide you the fuel that you need if Russia fails to provide it." Participating in such a diplomatic initiative makes it more likely to succeed. |
Kerry's great Iran Plan:
1) UN
2) Magically secured the FSU's nuclear material.
3) Give Iran nuclear fuel

following the UN will be our downfall... how come we elect a leader, then he goes to other leaders for advice? RIDICULOUS! If we are the super power in the world other leaders should come to us... NOT VICE VERSA!
Plus if you REALLY want to know about the UN... read that book I posted about... it's by Jeff Babbin and it's called Inside the Asylum. As far as I'm concerned after reading that book the UN is a bunch of fucking terrorists! (and he backs up EVERYTHING he says with unclassified documents!)
