Is this irony, Doug. If it is it is misplaced. Persuading people to support John Kerry does not sound like winning anything to me. It sounds like dissolving your critical voice into the pro-war mainstream.

Nathan fears an even more pro-war government than the one offered by John Kerry. 'more pro war'? Is that like 'a little bit pregnant'? War, in its nature, is one of those questions that you cannot nuance.
