His determination to work cooperatively with foreign leaders, whenever possible, is critical. The Bush administration's arrogant unilateralism is unsustainable. The United States must have effective partnerships to deal with metastasizing terrorism and nuclear threats, and Sen. Kerry understands this.
At home, he has a record of bipartisan cooperation. He is a defender of civil rights and opportunity for minorities. He has offered creative proposals regarding health care, and he would reverse the stem-cell restrictions. He recognizes that global warming is a legitimate environmental danger.
Moreover, Sen. Kerry is the real fiscal conservative in this race, and he has a long history as a deficit hawk. His plans for controlling spending are unclear, but his determination to roll back the tax cuts for families making more than $200,000 annually would be a good start to restoring fiscal sanity.
Sooner or later, most of Mr. Bush's handiwork will have to be undone.
Americans would do well to let Mr. Kerry get started.
