I believe more than one person has already answered that. You keep babbling about war as if that were the only issue to base a vote on. Don't be so dense. Unless you really are a brainless party-line lemming, you will never agree 100% with any candidate so you vote for the one who comes closest to sharing your views and vision. So what if I am opposed to the war and Kerry says he supports it? If the other 90% of Kerry's platform planks match up with my ideals, he is going to get my vote over a candidate who opposes the war but disagrees with me on every single other issue.
Finally, it really doesn't matter how important any single issue is to you. If both candidates have basically the same stance on issue "X" then you really can't use issue "X" to make your decision unless you plan to vote for a third-party candidate.
