Now your candidate has admitted to commiting war crimes and violating the Geneva Convention, do you think we should hold HIM accountable or will you invoke a Nuehrenburg [sic]defense? Just checking for intellectual honesty and consistency.... Oliver North was given due process and convicted of what he was convicted for. Kerry may have made that statement but due process would involve going further into that and nobody has gone further into that. Many questions remain; was he following orders of superiors, was he under fire and on and on. In our legal system, just making a statement like the way Kerry did does not make him guilty, is it not? Aren't we proud of our legal system where we guarantee every person his/her day in court? Then how do you conclude Kerry is guilty from just his admission. Now onto your second point, but before I get to it, let me restate what I have stated here before. I did not grow up with English as my first language. Having said that, let us take up this statement that Kerry made. We saw America lose her sense of morality as she accepted very coolly a My Lai and refused to give up the image of American soldiers who hand out chocolate bars and chewing gum. We learned the meaning of free fire zones, shooting anything that moves, and we watched while America placed a cheapness on the lives of orientals. Instead if he said the following with the changes highlighted: We saw America<font color=red>ns <font color=black>lose <font color=red>t<font color=black>he<font color=red>ir <font color=black>sense of morality as she accepted very coolly a My Lai and refused to give up the image of American soldiers who hand out chocolate bars and chewing gum. We learned the meaning of free fire zones, shooting anything that moves, and we watched while America<font color=red>ns<font color=black> placed a cheapness on the lives of orientals. He ran down the Administration, who represents America with what he said. If he had instead said the latter, then he trashes the American people. You cannot argue against history. History says that there was a clear distinction between America (Nixon Administration) and Americans (the people in those days.
