Why I love C-Span:

[King of the Americas]

This is just good broadcasting as far as I am concerned.

At C-Span, you get the "whole picture" no matter how dreadfully boring or informative. The other networks give you slices of speeches spun into a handbaked basketed full of mill ground ideas loaved up fresh for viewer consumption.

I watched and listened to Lt. John Kerry give that speech, and I could easily vote for a man who held those same beliefs today.

I think once you realize the real nature of War, you want to KEEP it from happening at all lengths, and so a freshly removed from battle young articulate solider got to speak before a congressional committee.

I felt differently after hearing this testimoney, about Senator John Kerry.

Really? You'd do anything to avoid a war?

 

[King of the Americas]

Given that this is a Kerry related post, I think I am perfectly within my rights to flip-flop.

Indeed, I WOULD make War with someone who invaded my territory, and threatened the safety of me and my own or attempted to dissuade forcibly me from taking part in my culture.

That said I would NOT go looking for a fight, constantly setting up military bases in other peoples' lands.

Even if they wanted you there?
