David Warren comments: What has become surreal in the U.S. presidential campaign, and which I hope will change after the Republican convention next week, is that the main topic of discussion is Vietnam. This is so, I suspect, not only because Mr. Kerry has chosen to campaign exclusively on the rather murky record of his personal service in Vietnam 36 years ago -- that is weird enough -- but because Vietnam is a proxy issue. Iraq is being ignored; all questions associated with the larger international conflict that began on 9/11/01, are left undebated. The insistence on discussing the cockroach in the sink, when there is an elephant in the room, must strike any foreign observer as peculiar. American democracy is not threatened by radical or unprecedented or demogogic views, or by any prospective mechanical failure in the system. It is instead suffering from the inability of either political party or the media to speak openly about what is going on. Is the U.S. as a nation thus acting in its "strong silent" mode? Or are government and people alike at a loss over what lies before them? davidwarrenonline.com
