Before you vote, please read Ralph Peters' excellent piece in today's New York Post. Colonel Peters discusses a letter from an old comrade still in the Army, who is now in Iraq.
This friend is evidently terrified Kerry will be elected President: "Kerry's rhetoric is giving the bad guys a thread to hang on," he wrote. "They're hoping we lose our nerve. They're more concerned with the U.S. elections than with the Iraqi ones."
Consequently, Colonel Peters' friend tells us, the terrorists in Iraq have gone all out to create as much chaos as possible before our election next week. However, American forces are winning, he says, and the terrorists cannot continue this pace of operations much longer.
Colonel Peters' piece further supports El Jefe's contention that Kerry's election would be a great psychological boost for our enemies, and a terrible blow to the morale of our own soldiers and allies.
The whole piece is worth reading, and may be found here:

My question is what are the American forces winning... USA has, with the help of George W. Bush, pushed itself up in a corner with political "enemies" on one side and fanatic terrorists on the other side. And with Bush for four more years will even make it worse. What's the next plan then? Iran, North Korea...??
I think USA's international relations will benefit
with Kerry as President. The whole world pays attention to the election, as well as my home country (Norway). We discuss it, talk about it and watch constantly on the news... And the way Bush has led himself and his country is not much appreciated by most Norwegians, Europeans, Asians, Australians, Americans and Africans.
THink relations and common sense before you act or vote!
