The nice thing about Kerry is, you don't have to worry about him invading other countries because it helps his personal bottom line. Unless we start going to war over tomatoes and ketchup, his decisions would undoubtedly be more considered and impassionate than anyone's who has a stake in the oil business. And he's also been in combat situations. Anyone who's seen real combat, and smelled the rotting corpses of the dead (cleaning up corpses was my job for a week once), doesn't want to rush into combat if there are any alternatives.
