Re: William Tucker's The Kerry Nightmare:

It's not a nightmare -- Mr. Tucker is prescient. I've been having the same vision since February.

If Kerry were elected, both Iraq and Afghanistan would fall to totalitarians. The Baby Boomer generation, having helped lose one war in their youth, would lose one more. And millions would die.

And the people who killed them would be coming for us.
-- Michael Ubaldi

Excellent article. Another civil was has begun here, with the left, it seems to me, pulling out all stops to create the chaos from which it believes it will reclaim power.

I do believe America lives or dies with the next election.

Tucker's article is no "nightmare." It's what's likely to happen if Kerry wins.
-- Ted Harwood, Ph.D.

This is crap. I can't wait for Kerry to win the election and prove you wrong.
-- Thomas Woods

Permit me to finish your dream.

The American people wise that they are, hedged their bets in voting Kerry. They delivered super majorities in both houses of Congress. The Republicans had effective control of the Congress.

Two weeks into the Baghdad riots, suddenly without warning a low yield nuclear device is detonated in Denver. Effectively the city is wiped out. Causalities were low as the explosion occurred on a Saturday. Still 250,000 are dead either directly or through exposure. Pandemonium ensued. There were calls for all out war. Riots broke out against peace demonstrators from International ANSWER.

The FBI and Homeland Security in an intense sweep of the 'crime scene' (Kerry's words) and follow on investigations discover the plot having been hatched by a splinter group of Zarqawi located in Iran, smuggled in via rail cars from Mexico City. Congress acting on the Bush Doctrine in 425-110 party line vote officially declares war against Iran. Congress directs the Commander-in-Chief with no uncertain terms to prosecute the war to it's fullest conclusion whenever and wherever necessary. $250b appropriation bill is attached to the declaration.

Unsure but coerced, Kerry places General Sanchez head of Middle East operations. First Armored division penetrates Iranian space 2 weeks later following an all out air barrage. Riots break out in the Northern Iranian provinces. In a surprise move Israel with support from Kurdish sympathizers invades Syria. Jordan and Egypt go on alert. Kerry appeals to the U.N. but is rebuffed. Arafat, stricken by a stroke, is flown to France where he dies on the operating table. Follow on investigation by the French indicate the anesthesiologist was an Israeli sympathizer under the employ of the Russians.

In week 8 of operations elements of the 101 Airborne reach the outskirts of Tehran. Streams of civilians are heading for American lines. The Saudi kingdom falls after a coup attempt kills most of the ruling family. British and Australian forces assume control of the Saudi capital and effective control of the country. In the Pacific theater, the Chinese seeing an opening prepare operations against Taiwan. Satellite imagery provides sufficient warning. In the ensuing skirmish in the strait, 2 cruisers and 1 destroyer are lost by the Chinese to only 1 destroyer and minor damage to the carrier Ronald Reagan.

Congress defunds the U.N. citing differences in the role of that body. Earmarks the funds for continuing operations of "Clean Sweep." The Iraqi Council elects an interim President. Approves Kurdish succession.
