I know this is a lovefest for Dean supporters, but here is my two cents worth. Most Americans will only vote to replace a president if the new man is clearly better. The 2000 race was between two wannabes. The 2004 race will pit a successful man against a wannabe. Dean's talk is not enough, and his accomplishments are thin.

       "The right-wing radicals want us to believe that we must choose
         between having a healthy environment or a healthy economy. I believe
         that a healthy environment will support a healthy economy." -Howard Dean

Please!!!!!!!! There are no people alive who want dirty air, polluted rivers or toxic waste spills. Sounds like name-calling to me.

As far as the war with Iraq, Israel is the main beneficiary. The Israeli people know that they are NOT ingaged in parlor games. They can lose, and if they do, they lose everything. It is easy for candidates to second guess our leaders when they have nothing to lose.
