Separated by fewer than 60 miles of the American heartland yesterday,
George Bush and John Kerry vigorously attacked each other in Iowa, one
of the handful of crucial battleground states that are likely to
decide the outcome of the presidential election, now less than two
weeks away.
In Waterloo, Mr Kerry delivered a long and detailed speech on foreign
policy, outlining how he would deal differently from Mr Bush with the
issues of Iraq and terrorism, stressing the need to display
international leadership and build coalitions. In Mason City, less
than an hour's drive to the north-west along almost empty roads, Mr
Bush portrayed his challenger as misguided and confused.
