One thing, very near the end, and I'm probably paraphrasing: "Never again will we declare an unjust war." Anybody who thought he was talking about Viet Nam was wrong.

I thought they hammered the military service issue, but I could understand why. People look at Bush as if he's a strong Commander in Chief, and he isn't. He may not blink when he feels he has to send people off to get killed in order to wipe out an 'ism' and protect our oil, but a good Commander in Chief looks ahead and considers whether the potential victory is worth the cost. A good Commander in Chief has equal measures of authority AND sense of responsibility. A good President does too.

I don't trust Bush and I don't trust the people around him. Kerry isn't the greatest public speaker (although he was pretty good last night), but I DO think he actually believes in what he says he believes in and that the public person isn't very different from the private one. He's done enough things in his life simply because they were the right things to do. I think the man has a conscience and listens to it.
