60. It Is Right In Line With The Majority of Americans
Most Americans, even in the face of no WMDs and a quagmire, still believe that Saddam needed to be held accountable - they just wanted it done right. And most Americans overwhelming prefer that we are leaders of international goodwill and cooperation, not cowboys.

Joe Klein described Kerry's foreign policy as "muscular internationalism: active, detailed engagement with the countires in the Middle East and elsewhere; less pompous rhetoric and more of the patient scut work - the diplomatic consulatation, the building of direct relationships with local intelligence and police agencies - that will make an occasional use of force by America more palatable."

That sounds downright agreeable to me. Couple that then with his 10 years on the terrorism Subcommittee, his almost 20 years on the Foreign Relations committee, the book on international crime and terrorism, AND the national priority he will give to energy independence - you have yourself an incredible candidate.
