politics

i've been following the hype around the american elections happening in november. last night was the first round of the debates, which according to most news articles i've read, can either make or break the candidates.

i am happy that kerry faired well.

this morning cnn is on in the background and i'm catching bits and pieces of the re-broadcast. seems like bush is quite uncertain as much as he says he is certain...

on the issue of iran and nuclear weapons (not word for word, just a general break-down of their debate on this issue):

kerry: we must put sanctions on iran
bush: we have put sanctions on iran
kerry: it doesn't help to sanction iran by ourselves. we need to do so within our coalition (ie. france, germany, britain etc.)
bush: it wasn't our administration that put sanctions on iran

dilly-dallying there abit mr president?

for those interested, here are the links to the transcripts of the above mentioned...
Transcript: Are diplomacy, sanctions effective?, followed onto into the next question (they both weren't finished on the issue of iran...). Transcript: Why not send troops to Sudan?
