1. NOTING THAT CANDIDATE KERRY WILL NOT BE BETTER THAN PRESIDENT
BUSH WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES OF THE REGION, "AL BAYAN"
EDITORIALIZED 10/19: (ARABIC DAILY, DUBAI-BASED BUSINESS-
ORIENTED, CIRCULATION 40,000)
"SOME MIGHT THINK THAT THE CURRENT AMERICAN POLICY MIGHT CHANGE
FOR THE SAKE OF INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND PEACE, OR THE DEGREE
THAT THE POLICY IRRITATES THE WORLD MIGHT DECREASE IF PRESIDENT
BUSH LOST THE ELECTIONS. THESE THINK THAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
KERRY WILL SEEK TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE CURRENT U.S. POLICY.
ACCORDING TO KERRY'S STATEMENTS THERE MIGHT BE MORE IRRITABILITY
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO ARAB AND MUSLIM ISSUES. WHAT WE WANT
IS A U.S. POLICY THAT DEFENDS JUSTICE AND INTERNATIONAL
LEGITIMACY. WITHOUT THIS POLICY, THE WORLD WILL NOT KNOW SECURITY
OR PEACE, IF THE DOMINANT WORD IS POWER."
