The nuances of the American election don't get much attention in Europe. I'm sure most Europeans believe that Senator Kerry is against the war in Iraq because that's the only "sensible position" to have.
Well, yesterday Kerry said if he had it to do over again, knowing all he knows, he'd still vote to give the President the authority to take the country to war in Iraq. He argues that the Bush administration failed to do proper post-war planning (possibly), that the country was misled into war (possibly again), and that a different approach would have ensured greater allied participation (almost certainly not), but not that the war itself was wrong.
