As you’ve heard John Kerry say during this campaign, he’d like to lead America back to the way things were in the 1990’s, when terrists were nothing more than a nuisance. Bill Kristol frames Kerry’s statement in this way:
“To pretend we can go back to the 1990s raises false hopes that will prove dangerous to the country. On the other hand, we can face our challenges, and carry out our duties–as President Bush has tried, with considerable success, to lead us to do.”
He’s right.
