President-elect John F. Kerry's rise to the nation's highest office came as little surprise following almost four years of remonstrations against President George W. Bush for his bizarre attack on the defenseless people of Afghanistan.
Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, was the right man for a nation outraged by the Bush administration's pre-emptive war, which, it now seems clear, was based on highly speculative intelligence that Saudi Arabian-born terrorist Osama bin Laden was planning an attack on the United States.

The Court does claim that even if a state has not signed on to it that it can be subject to it. Them claiming something and enforcing it may be completely different.
I'm not a big GWB fan, but I'll give credit when I think it's due. He was right in telling the UN to shove it.
The group was lamenting that they could not go against Bush because the United States was not signed onto the Rome treaty.
On 3/3004 I posted, "The president looks like he just got this message from HRC: 'Sooner or later the Democrats will be back in power. Now or later, Kerry or...someone else...and when we are, the first order of business will be to prosecute you. And we don't care what for.' I do believe they will not be satisfied merely by replacing him with a Democrat. The animosity is too personal, too specific. They want to take him down and lock him up..."
-- The UN is told to vacant its NYC location, with the official word from the new Bush Administration being "Since the UN has repeatedly proven to be a corrupt and ineffective leftist anti-American organization, the U.S. rejects it as a sham."
-- There is a an official press conference indicting Kofi Annon not only for collaborating with terrorist oraganization, but for skimming millions from coffers. Suddenly Kofi is found as a victim of "Unfortunate and unknown circumstances."
-- John Kerry is indicted for "war crimes against humanity" and sentenced to flogging in Vietnam
-- ALL Democrats are locked up and deported as traitors and shipped to the South Pole with only Al Franken and Michael Moore books to use as "fuel"....
That's just for starters.
Shortly after starting his speech, a plane struck the tower. President-elect Kerry and thousands of innocent people were killed when the tower fell. The media immediately blamed President Bush for causing this tragedy by making the terrorists mad at us. If it weren't for his foolish invasion of Afghanistan they would have just left us alone. Now he has created a thousand more bin Ladens that it will take at least another 8 years of Democrat leadership to make peace with them again.
Much as we would have liked to do with his the slick one...
In a flourish of irony and the spirit of bon vivant for which the new president is widely known, Kerry gave his acceptance speech from Windows on the World, the elegant restaurant atop the World Trade Center's Tower One.
