Warlords control much of Afghanistan outside the capital of Kabul, which is the extent of the territorial writ of the decent but beleaguered President Hamid Karzai.

That military operation was indeed a success. Troops from Britain,
France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Norway, and Spain are serving alongside
Americans in Afghanistan to this day. He lives and works within a
self-created bubble of faith-based affirmation.

He boasts that he listens to no outside advisers, and inside advisers
who dare to express unwelcome views are met with anger or disdain.
The Senate has confirmed two hundred and one of his judicial nominees,
more than the per-term averages for Presidents Clinton, Reagan, and Bush
senior. There is surely idealistic purpose in envisioning a Middle East
finally relieved of its autocracies and dictatorships.
Many of its provisions, such as allowing broader information-sharing
among investigative agencies, are sensible.
But the challenger has more to offer than the fact that he is not George
W. Some animated shows on the cable channel also have been focusing on
the election. The United States has become mired in a low-intensity
guerrilla war that has taken more lives since the mission was declared
to be accomplished than before.
The arrests have continued, but eventually the Administration simply
stopped saying how many people were and are being held. More recently,
the Administration proposed new rules that would significantly weaken
controls on mercury emissions from power plants. Nowhere has his
solipsism been more damaging than in the case of Iraq. While Bush has
pandered relentlessly to the narrowest urges of his base, Kerry has
sought to appeal broadly to the American center.
The failed armed intervention in Somalia and the successful ones in the
Balkans are other examples. The Senate has confirmed two hundred and one
of his judicial nominees, more than the per-term averages for Presidents
Clinton, Reagan, and Bush senior. In a second Bush term, the Court could
be remade in their images.
But Kerry has been keeping the issue alive since he first raised it
Sept. Warlords control much of Afghanistan outside the capital of Kabul,
which is the extent of the territorial writ of the decent but
beleaguered President Hamid Karzai.
The United States has become mired in a low-intensity guerrilla war that

At least as reprehensible is the way that foreign nationals living in
the United States have been treated.
More recently, the Administration proposed new rules that would
significantly weaken controls on mercury emissions from power plants. He
boasts that he listens to no outside advisers, and inside advisers who
dare to express unwelcome views are met with anger or disdain. Many of

investigative agencies, are sensible. As observers, reporters, and
commentators we will hold him to the highest standards of honesty and
performance. Bush poses in his Texas Air National Guard uniform in this

In a second Bush term, the Court could be remade in their images.
Nowhere has his solipsism been more damaging than in the case of Iraq.
Before this war, we had persuaded ourselves and the world that our
military might was effectively infinite.
In a time of primitive partisanship, he has exhibited a fundamentally
undogmatic temperament. Since it is official policy not to deport
terrorism suspects, it is unclear what legitimate anti-terror purpose
these secret hearings serve. As observers, reporters, and commentators
we will hold him to the highest standards of honesty and performance.
His record since then has been dictated, sometimes literally, by the
industries affected. Still, the rich do better, to put it mildly.
Largely at the insistence of Democrats and moderate Republicans, the
Bush cuts gave middle-class families some relief in the form of refunds,
bigger child credits, and a smaller marriage penalty.
The toll of Iraqi dead and wounded is of an order of magnitude greater
than the American.
