Daniel Drezner is voting for Kerry
Daniel Drezner, the assistant professor of poli sci at the University of Chicago who runs the smart Daniel W. Drezner blog, has decided to vote for John Kerry for president, albeit unenthusiastically. His post in which he publishes his decision links to a series of posts over the past several weeks in which Professor Dresner evaluates the pros and cons of each candidate. The series of posts is a highly informative resource for evaluating the positions of the candidates, particularly in the foreign policy arena.
I believe that Professor Drezner places too much emphasis in making his decision on criticism of the Bush Administration's tactical decisions in Iraq. History instructs us that even successful battlefronts rarely are without significant tactical errors -- unfortunately, such is the essential nature of the messy business of war. However, Professor Drezner's point about the lack of reasoned policy analysis and lack of intellectual flexibility in the Bush Administration is a valid criticism and reflects my biggest reservation about the current administration.
