KERRY COUNTRIES

Omestad, Thomas (2004) “Outside looking in” U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, 11/15, p.46

President Bush may have carried that the USA, but most of the world was supporting Kerry.

They believe that they understand him and that he would include them and help organize and share leadership in major international relations.

Kerry is their kind of Christian. A practicing Catholic, he was one not to wear his religion on his sleeve. Most countries do not mix religion and politics as much as the United States. He is the kind of Catholic that the Roman church opposed because of his stance on abortion although his other policies were in concert with the holy pontiff.

Bush became the church’s favorite Protestant. Kerry can not Europeanize the states.
