I especially like what I see in these points:

"IV. Control the Spread of Weapons on Mass Destruction: Kerry will appoint a high-level Presidential envoy to lead the effort and expand the Nunn/Lugar program to buy up and destroy stockpiles of loose WMD materials."

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Kerry will do something about WMD's that might actually be acquired by Al Qaeda, rather than phantom threats.

"V. Win the Peace in Iraq and Afghanistan: Kerry will bring real security in Iraq by broadening the coalition, including the United Nations (news - web sites), and creating a real Iraqi security force that can take care of itself and the people it is supposed to protect. In Afghanistan, Kerry would put forward a major increase in security and fund the promised a Marshall Plan for reconstruction."

Yes please.

"VI. Win the War of Ideas and the Future of a Young Generation: Kerry will build bridges to the Arab and Islamic world by supporting and assisting human rights groups, independent media, and labor unions dedicated to building a democratic culture."

That's exactly what we need to do. Win the "battle of ideas."

Kerry's plan is much more intelligent, pragmatic, and will be more effective than anything that Bush has done.
