Bush's Miami Wipeout

After a blistering but accurate review of Bush's discombobulated performance at the Miami Debate, Philiop Gourevitch, writing in the new issue of The New Yorker notes:

Kerry is offering himself as the candidate of change--”truth vs. unreality, a fresh start vs. more of the same. We need friends in this dangerous world, he says, and we need diplomacy to try and disarm and contain our enemies lest it should be our burden, otherwise, to destroy them. What Kerry doesn't say --and cannot say --is that when it comes to real threats, like North Korea and Iran, Bush's fixation with Iraq may already have made it too late for any American President to find a peaceful solution.
