Here goes... my first entry
To lead off, something about the presidential race, in this case the contest for the Democratic nomination. I haven't made up my mind yet who my favourite candidate is; I'm torn between Dean, Clark, and Kerry. This quote pretty much sums up why I like General Clark.
"We have to work this problem [WMD in Iraq] in a way to gain worldwide legitimacy and understanding for the concerns that we rightly feel and for our leadership. This is what U.S. leadership in the world must be. We must bring others to share our views, not be too quick to rush to try to impose them even if we have the power to do so."
from Wesley Clark's testimony before the House Committee on Armed Services on Sept. 26, 2002
