<P>I agree. I think it is all the followers that he has that make him a political leader. Being a General is only one small part of his life. I am more impressed with what he did before and after he was in the military. His preformance in the military is just icing on the cake.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Donovan,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Can you please tell me what background Clark has to demonstrate his
<DIV></DIV>>capability to lead a country?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>In the case of other Presidents, they had been governors of large states
<DIV></DIV>>(well, some of small states). I'm not aware that Clark has even held a
<DIV></DIV>>political office to the level of a city mayor.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>So, other than being the only hope for the Democratic Party in 2004, what
<DIV></DIV>>political credentials does he have?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Best,
<DIV></DIV>>Dale

<DIV></DIV>>General Wesley Clark will be announcing his official entrance into the race
<DIV></DIV>>for President of the United States.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>General Clark is running as a Democrat. He was the NATO Supreme Commander
<DIV></DIV>>during the Kosovo war. He was against the way Bush handled the war in Iraq
<DIV></DIV>>and is socially liberal. He graduated first in class in high school and at
<DIV></DIV>>West Point. He is also a Rhoads Scholar where at Oxford he received three
<DIV></DIV>>Masters degrees in Economics, Political Science and Philosophy. He earned a
<DIV></DIV>>Purple Heart, Silver Star, and Bronze Star in Vietnam.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>As a private citizen he founded and is Chairman of "Leadership for America",
<DIV></DIV>>an organization that works with youth and future leadership. He also worked
<DIV></DIV>>for Stephens Corporation, a private financial consulting firm. He has served
<DIV></DIV>>in numerous other organizations including one that is working on the
<DIV></DIV>>development of a car that runs of electricity.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>In 2000 Clark received the "Presidential Medal of Freedom". The highest
<DIV></DIV>>national award for a private citizen.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Clark is the perfect combination of being a Southerner, a strong military
<DIV></DIV>>and diplomatic background, an outsider, and a socially progressive liberal,
<DIV></DIV>>to defeat Bush in 2004.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I invite you all to learn about Clark at www.americansforclark.com
<DIV></DIV>> . If interested, I would also like you
<DIV></DIV>>join the yahoo group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NW4Clark/
<DIV></DIV>> This is one of about 200 Yahoo
<DIV></DIV>>groups around the country that are growing by exponential numbers in the
<DIV></DIV>>last few weeks.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I believe Clark is liberal enough for most Democrats in Latah. I also think
<DIV></DIV>>that he has the best chance to defeat Bush in 2004.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Thanks!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Donovan J Arnold
