Andrew Sullivan endorsement

Why I am supporting John Kerry.
Risk Management

Bush's comparative advantage--the ability to pull the trigger when others might balk--will be largely irrelevant. That doesn't mean it hasn't come in handy. Without Bush, Saddam would still be in power. But just because the president was suited to fight the war for the last four years doesn't mean he is suited to succeed at the more complicated and nuanced tasks of the next four. In fact, some of the very virtues that made him suited to our past needs now make him all the more unsuited to our future ones. I am still glad he was president when we were attacked. But that doesn't mean he's the right leader for the years ahead. And one of the great benefits of being a democracy at war is that we can change leaders and tactics to advance the same goals. Dictatorships are stuck with the same guy--with all his weaknesses and all the hubris that comes from running successful wars, hubris that almost always leads to fatal errors, hubris that isn't restricted to tyrants.

I agree especially with the fact that we're not electing John Kerry in 2000. This is about the next four years, not the last four.

This is not, should not be, and one day cannot be, Bush's war. And the more it is, the more America loses, and our enemies gain.

That sounds familiar(That rightful place includes a policy on terrorism which is an evil that must be, will be, and is being fought by Democrats and Republicans alike.). Is Andrew Sullivan stealing my stuff? It would be nice if someone was.
