What would John Kerry have done in an American war?

     America has been fighting terrorists since 2001.  Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, finally has the opportunity to go into Gaza and wipe out the organizations there that threaten it.  So here comes Secretary of State John Kerry--pressuring Israel for a cease fire.  To illustrate how absurd this diplomatic move is, allow me to draw a few hypothetical analogies to past American wars:

(1) What would have happened if upon crossing the Delaware, George Washington was approached by John Kerry who sought to broker a peace in order for the Colonials and Hessians to militarily disarm and celebrate Christmas together?

(2) What would have happened if as Robert E. Lee's army ventured into Pennsylvania, south of Gettysburg, John Kerry obtained an agreement that the forces of the North and South would not engage?

(3) What would have happened if as the transports carrying Allied troops landed on Normandy, they received a call not to advance because John Kerry had negotiated a cease fire with the Nazis?

It is my impression that Kerry does not understand war and thinks that his position compels him to do some kind of diplomatic thing--whatever that entails.  Ayn Rand wrote about the destructiveness of those who aspire to "unearned greatness".  John Kerry fits this model.
