...royal mess in Iraq will be a challenge for any president to clean up. After the horrific damage—in terms of infrastructure and human lives—the war has inflicted, we have reservations about the prospect for quick stabilization in the region. But Kerry??s plan to begin to turn chaos into order is, at the very least, a reasonable start. The internationalization of the burden is a necessary step that the Bush administration should have taken long ago, and we hope that efforts to train Iraqi security forces will be more whole-hearted than...

Kerry??s record, meanwhile, indicates that a President Kerry would fight for a federal budget that provides more social services to all at the expense of only the uppermost echelons of society, bridge the two Americas and reforge a global system based on international discussion, cooperation and problem solving, not unilateralism...
