Measure as in yard stick, Odometer, scales, decibel meter, geiger counter etc.
Without some kind of objective measure how will you know whether Kerry is better than Bush or worse than Bush in regards to Iraq? Because he is your candidate? Because his hairdo is better than the one Elvis had when he visited Nixon at the White House?
So far not a single Kerry supporter I have asked has answered this question. Perhaps I have not asked the question is a pointed enough fashion until now. One of the reasons I still consider the supposed "anti-war" people (who are actually voting for a pro war candidate) voting for Kerry to have a vote and pray philosophy is that they offer no line in the sand as to when Kerry will be better than Bush, the same as Bush or worse than Bush.
