対イラク武力行使

NYタイムス紙の4月18日付けの記事によると、

アメリカ民主党大統領候補ケリーが、自分の若いときのベトナム反戦運動を少し自己批判したらしい。

少し言い過ぎたみたいな。

それはそれで、もっと言いたいことはあるのだけれどやめて、それよりももっと面白いことを言ったらしい。


＞Mr. Kerry said he completely supported Mr. Bush's new position that Israel should be able to keep part of the land seized in the Arab-Israeli war of 1967. He also backed Israel's assassination this weekend of a Hamas leader.
"I believe Israel has every right in the world to respond to any act of terror against it," he said.


いや、すばらしいね。

もう一度引用する。

＞"I believe Israel has every right in the world to respond to any act of terror against it,"

民主党はあまり好きではないが、この点だけは見直した。
