Kerry lost because he was a poor candidate. The Democratic party in general is becoming poor--there is so much division between the liberal dems. and the moderate dems. that the party as a whole is failing. Bush won because he has proven himself a strong leader. He has taken the initiative to attack the nations that supported the terrorists that attacked America. He has proven himself to be an adequate leader of America. As for American's being stupid, I hardly agree. Look around you, could all this greatness come from stupidity? Compare America to Nepal... Nepal is in complete shambles, aren't we the poorest nation in the world? Americans will do what is best for America, exactly how Nepali people will do what is best for themselves. Oh, and by the way. Those Maoists are terrorists. How can they be called anything else? Revolutionaries, my foot!!! They want only bloodshed and sensationalism--there are truly better ways to reform an inadequate system.
