Senator John Kerry is campaigning to be President by saying that he will use diplomacy to fight a ``more sensitive'' war on terror. But how does Senator Kerry's diplomatic effort show up on the campaign trail? He refers to the 30-plus nations that have joined our efforts to bring freedom to the people of Iraq as ``the coerced and bribed.'' He constantly belittles the efforts of allies who fight and bleed along with our soldiers in the effort to fight terror and to spread freedom. How can someone who belittles our allies expect to gather more allies? President Bush has been an outstanding leader in successfully prosecuting the war on terror. He has led the fight to bring freedom to 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq. Under his leadership, our forces toppled the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. They have also captured or killed two-thirds of the top leadership of the al Qaeda. Our forces are on the offensive on the war on terror, and because of the outstanding leadership of President George W. Bush, we are spreading freedom, spreading hope and making America a safer place.
