John Kerry: Unfit for President?

I believe that Senator John Kerry has made recent and past comments and participated in activities that make him unfit to serve as President of the United States.
He recently claimed that the threat of terrorism is being exaggerated. That statement is ridiculous. There are foreigners who are commit suicide to kill Americans. You can’t exaggerate the threat of terrorism from that kind of thinking. If Senator Kerry believes that the threat is exaggerated, he either is delusional or doesn’t understand the world situation. In either case, that would indicate that he is unfit to be president.
Sen. Kerry also recently said that he did not know the facts regarding statements about President Bush and his service in the Air National Guard. That statement is politically inspired. During the 1992 election, Kerry defended Bill Clinton from attacks on his non-service record. He said we should not be dividing the public by bringing that up. Now, Kerry, claims he doesn’t know that President Bush got an honorable discharge. Bush could not have gotten an honorable discharge if he had been AWOL. Kerry's statement proves that he is willing to play politics with the war. He is now willing to be divisive on the matter.
Although Kerry’s service in Vietnam is stellar, his actions since that service is less than honorable. Just because someone served in Vietnam does not make him an expert on foreign policy or even war strategy, and Kerry has proven he is not an expert on either. When Kerry came back from the war, he became a war protester. He sided with ''Hanoi Jane'' Fonda and other communist sympathizers, and he has not apologized for his actions. He apparently still does not recognize that he was wrong to do this.
The war protesters think that they helped to end the war in Vietnam, but they actually extended the war at a cost of millions of innocent people their lives. The Vietnam War was only one aspect of the ''Cold War.'' We won the cold war because we opposed communism everywhere that it tried to take over. As history plays out, the important of opposition to communism in Vietnam will be recognized. We were on the right side of the cold war and we won. North Vietnam had signed a peace treaty and then we pulled out. The North Vietnamese violated the treaty and our Congress did not have the guts to fund the South Vietnamese so they could defend themselves. Millions of Cambodians and Vietnamese were murdered because we abandoned them. Kerry and the other war protesters have this blood on their hands. And this is another reason that I believe that Kerry is unfit to be president.
