WASHINGTON (Mehr News Agency) -- The office of Senator John Kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an e-email saying that Kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows.

As Americans who have lived and worked extensively overseas, we have personally witnessed the high regard with which people around the world have historically viewed the United States. Sadly, we are also painfully aware of how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of both parties over many decades and put many of our international relationships at risk.

It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

We are convinced that John Kerry is the candidate best qualified to meet this challenge. Senator Kerry has the diplomatic skill and temperament as well as a lifetime of accomplishments in field of international affairs. He believes that collaboration with other countries is crucial to efforts to win the war on terror and make America safer.

An understanding of global affairs is essential in these times, and central to this campaign Kerry has the experience and the understanding necessary to successfully restore the United States to its position of respect within the community of nations. He has the judgment and vision necessary to assure that the United States fulfills a leadership role in meeting the challenges we face throughout the world.

The current Administration's policies of unilateralism and rejection of important international initiatives, from the Kyoto Accords to the Biological Weapons Convention, have alienated much of the world and squandered remarkable reserves of support after 9/11. This climate of hostility affects us all, but most especially impacts those who reside overseas. Disappointment with current U.S. leadership is widespread, extending not just to the corridors of power and politics, but to the man and woman on the street as well.

We believe John Kerry is the Democrat who can go toe-to-toe against the current Administration on national security and defense issues. We also remain convinced that John Kerry has the best chance of beating the incumbent in November, and putting America on a new course that will lead to a safer, more secure, and more stable world.

Sheesh
This is basic CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR etc it is not News, how can you be outraged, wretching or surprised? This is the daily drival. It is not the Tiawanese swallowing liberal propaganda, it is our next door nieghbor, the guy up the street, people that listen to FM.
Kerry is "A War Veteran"
Every 15 minutes you hear it on the "NEWS"
KERRY is not the Enemy... it is the media
Sheesh
IF is for people that buy LOTTO

"More pander, more rump kissing to the UN and world community from Kerry."

I probably ought to censor what I think of this Kerry slug poop . . .

rump kissing is hardly a sufficient term.

perhaps . . .

poop corner in the hog wallow mud wrestling orgy

would be closer to accurate.

[Quix]

I suspect this would get a yawn on the part of many even if published widly on many newspaper front pages.

People are dull minded idiots across our land.

God help us all.

[Quix]

AMEN.

[Quix]

Perhaps there's a beached aircraft carrier somewhere that the jury could sentence him to be keel hauled through a gopher hole under?

Perhaps under the USS REAGAN would be sufficient.

[Quix]

From their website?

Conceivable but it certainly SOUNDS LIKE KERRY.

I hope you are wrong, I have Children, Children that I have not taught marksmanship to...yet.
I used to be the idiot up the street (not saying I am still not an idiot) that voted for Jimmy Carter and was oblivious to why the Iranians didn't "LIKE US" then there was the Clarence Thomas hearings and I heard a guy named Limbaugh, my world changed in a couple of weeks in a very big way.
I still have hope.

[Quix]

One could wish.

But toooo many Americans are oblivious of overseas realities.

And even many who are not obvlivious just do not care.

And even too many expats overseas are full of liberal tunnel vision.

Sigh.

[Quix]

Well said.

Certainly Shrillery Antoinette de Fosertizer de Machiavelli de Stalin de Mao de Chamberlin de HanoiJane de Sade. . . must agree.

[Quix]

Welll, we certainly had plans for ditching pasports on certain flights in certain areas during certain times.

[Quix]

TOOOOOO TRUE.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HIDEOUSLY TRUE.

[Quix]

Your logic is sensible and you could be right.

On the other hand . . . . anyone who'd dance with HANOI JANE

is not the most astute, logical, sensible, . . . . 'American' the Republic has ever had the misfortune to have born here.

[Quix]

Puhlease!

The Iranian people have suffered ENOUGH!

[Quix]

They have been voting for satan's globalist government for a long time--even before

Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Machiavelli de Marx de Stalin de Sade.

[woofie]

The Iranian people have suffered ENOUGH!

Yea,and what about us Americans?

[Quix]

I think this really needs publicized.

Hideous. Beyond hideous.

[Quix]

Prostate cancer of the frontal lobes of his cerebral cortex, sounds like.

[Quix]

For sure!

Shrillery is till breathing our air in and . . . hideously, then out.

Talk about pollution!

[Quix]

I would love to be wrong, too.

Sadly, all the evidence, to my assessment points otherwise.

I've studied this globalism thing since I was responsible for lots of extreme left through extreme right documents at the university library Special Collections department 1966-1969. That's a few years.

The alarms on the right as well as the brazen plans no the left for a tyrannical global government have advanced wholesale--WHOLESALE since then. I'd guesstimate that 85% of what I read of their plans then--perhaps more--maybe even 95%--have come true already.

The handwriting is more than on the wall. The whole wall has become handwriting.

I HAVE HOPE. But it is not in man's system. It is not even in man's system of Christianity. My Hope is in GOD ALONE. Only Christ's return will set this sin sick world aright.

But we must work for good as long as we are able. PRAISE GOD FOR FR.

[Quix]

Well said.

Though I don't know that it's

Kerry is not the enemy, it is the media.

It is Kerry AND the media AND the HYPORAT machine etc.
