> What evidence do you have that Giuliani would be better than Clinton on the war and national security?

I have no evidence. That was why I said “...it would be reasonably to expect that Giuliani’s policies will be significantly better than Clinton’s.”

The only thing we have is candidate’s rhetoric and background. We use both to make a selection and hope for the best. Giuliani’s rhetoric, especially on national security, is excellent. His background, from the time he was a NYC mayor, also indicates that he will be a strong leader who will put emphasis on safety and security.

> He has no foreign policy experience and has never served in the military. He doesn’t have an extensive education in foreign affairs and I don’t even know if he’s even studied the issues beyond the campaign sound bite level. Who are his foreign policy and military advisors, and who would he appoint as Sec. of Defense and Sec. of State, for instance? Heck, I don’t even think he’s traveled much outside the U.S. for that matter, even as an ordinary tourist.

I am sorry, but John Kerry is not running in this election cycle.

Sorry, you haven't explained why it would be reasonable to expect that Giuliani would be better than Clinton on the war and foreign policy. Exactly how would their policies be different? Say what you want about Clinton, but as co-president she at least had the balls to attack five, count 'em, five foreign countries.

And sorry again, but Rudy's tired and empty tough guy rhetoric just isn't going to cut it, either for me or for most voters concerned about national security. Has the guy said in specific detail about what he'd do about ANY issue?
