I couldn't help but get the irony of his saying this at a place called "Honest John's". Uhm....yeah. Anyway, Herman would have us believe that if he were President, he'd have this entire thing under control:

U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass., who was in town Sunday to help Gov. Jennifer Granholm campaign for her re-election bid, took time to take a jab at the Bush administration for its lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict.

"If I was president, this wouldn't have happened," said Kerry during a noon stop at Honest John's bar and grill in Detroit's Cass
Corridor.
