2. Kerry has declared to anyone who will listen that he will track terrorists down to the ends of the earth and beat the shit out of them. He advocates increasing significantly the size of our armed forces, and throwing boatloads (hi, SBVT!) of money at the DOD. What more do you want from this guy?
Terrorism is the battle of our age. I am convinced that no national politician in the next generation will be "soft" on terrorism. You will see Democrats as well as Republicans building a military immense and imposing enough to give Reagan wood inside his casket.

Disagree (in part) to your disagreement of Billmore's disagreement. Kerry has indicated that he disagrees with the doctrine of preemption and has stated, albeit subtley, that he will go back on more of a defensive footing (i.e., I will respond if we are attacked v. I will respond before we are attacked).
