If the Kerry campaign was focused...

If they were focused on winning they would pay more attention to what is going on today than what happened 35 years ago. If Kerry had gone into the DNC talking about Iran and Korea, he would have gotten the bounce he hoped for. If the Kerry camp had a focused plan to deal with Iran and Korea, and spoke of that plan clearly, publicly, positively, and often the middle of the road types would flock to him. unfortunately, Kerry wanted to focus on the Vietnam war and the Bush camp has been more than willing to oblige. Bush can deflect criticism of his ANG service without losing too many votes.
If Kerry wants the presidency he will have to go into the debates with a clear plan for dealing with Iran and Korea. Even debating Iraq won't win him too many votes, because most Americans agree, at some level, that the war effort in Iraq is SNAFU.
Unfortunately, the debates will just be more showmanship and little substance.

Anyway- here is a link about the mounting tensions in Iran.
