Kerry: An actual plan to deal with terrorism
John Kerry is offering his plan to deal with terrorism.
Some highlights:
Kerry called for an end to the Bush Administration's plan to develop a new generation of nuclear weapons. Kerry proposes that the US take the lead in curbing nuclear proliferation.
Kerry proposes to have a presidential coordinator to secure nuclear weapons from countries like Russia...as well as work to to keep nuclear attacks from occuring. Kerry proposes working closely with countries like Russia to accelerate reductions in nuclear arsenals.
This is a crucially important proposal. It goes to the heart of US credibility in the world. We have no moral authority when it comes to nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran while at the same time developing new bunker busting bombs and new generations of nukes.
In my view..this is one of the main differences between Kerry and Bush. Kerry wants to negotiate from a position of credibility and strength when dealing with US foreign policy issues. Bush wants to force nations into doing what he says when he says it...or threaten them. It's a "do as I say not as I do" position.
