My Take on the Kerry Acceptance Speech
Last night I wrote a critical analysis of Kerry’s speech, but it was mostly focused on its style and delivery. After some reflection, I realized just how bad it was in content, especially concerning foreign policy issues.
1. There was no discussion of the Israel-Palestine issue, no discussion of Israel at all.
2. There was no discussion of the Iranian nuclear arms program.
3. There was no discussion of the North Korean nuclear arms program.
4. There was no discussion of how we will fight the war on terror other than saying we will meet every attack.
5. There was no discussion of how we prevent weapons of mass destruction from falling into the hands of terrorists.
6. There was no discussion of America’s role or objective in the world.
Instead all Kerry mentioned was his objective to free ourselves of our dependence on the Saudi Royal Family. (Once again, appealing to the Michael Moore wing of his party.)
At best, it was the speech of an isolationist liberal. The more I think of Kerry’s speech, the more contented I am.
