“Would-be White House occupants: Where they stand on the Middle East” (Oct. 28)
I didn’t see the debate on Sunday night ? I don’t think it was broadcast on television because I went through all the channels looking for it.
Nonetheless, I’ve been following the democratic debates and I’d disagree with the notion that Dean was the Alpha. It should be Kucinich. The latter has always been fair, righteous, and straightforward in his answers, he is the only candidate that stands firmly with the Palestinians against the Israelis, and who doesn’t dodge answers like the rest of the candidates to get votes from both sides of the aisle.
If you are keeping up with the debates on television, you would see why Kucinich would be the preferred candidate for both the Arabs and the Americans. Unlike the others, he is the only one who voted against the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, etc. I guess the editor of this article chose Howard Dean to be the Alpha since he’s the most popular and Kucinich is the least popular. I used to be amazed at how the American public didn’t support Kucinich, but after reading this article, I’m not surprised anymore.
