what s wrong with ok they attack us we attack them back while the UN sits around and tries to figure out a peaceful solution
There's nothing wrong with that, only one problem...IRAQ NEVER ATTACKED US. Not only did they not attack us but there is absolutly no connection between Al Queda and Iraq that can be proved. There are connections between them and other countries that CAN be proved, but we arent attacking them are we.
As far as sitting around looking for a peaceful solution is concerned, when did that become a BAD thing? Maybe instead of peacful protests Martin Luther King should have started a race war.

can you honsestly tell me that the world is not a better place without saddam hussein?
This isn't an issue because outside of the Baath party I dont think anyone would say the world isn't better without him. The problem with the "freeing the Iraqi people" argument that Republicans like to use is that there are tons of people around the world being oppressed. I do think they need help, but I guarantee you none of those people really care about that. Is Rush Limbaugh (a/k/a partisan puppet fucktard) up in arms trying to get the Bush administration to invade the Sudan? Thousands of Sudanese are being butchered by muslim militia being supported by the government yet no one seems to give a fuck. Free Iraq!

we keep clinging to our manufacturing jobs but the companies are moving to other countries for cheaper labor. and whose fault is that?
The government has the power to protect American jobs. How about heavily taxing foreign payroll? Nah, lets award these companies with insanely huge tax cuts instead.

or is it the unions who keep asking for higher wages for employees which eventually force companies to get cheaper labor?
I agree that many unions are corrupt, but do you honestly think they are the ones driving jobs overseas? As long as it's profitable to ship jobs overseas companies will do it. Having unions asking for higher wages is a convinient excuse. If shipping jobs overseas wasn't profitable companies wouldn't do it.
Another point about Kerry pandering; I do agree with you. Unfortunatly EVERY successful politician panders to one special interest group or another. Ever since laws were passed that deemed giving money to a candidate as "freedom of speech" all politicians are in someones pocket. They have to be to be successful because it's those special interest groups that are paying for their campaign. Without campaign finance reform this will always be true and the average citizen will be the one to suffer
