Kerry did nothing wrong in Paris or anywhere else. He helped our country and our military get through a very difficult and humiliating time. He helped save US lives.

Your fundamental dishonesty, or lack of historical knowledge, is that by then the war was over, except for the fact that our troops were still over there and hadn't been withdrawn yet. So hundreds and thousands of them were still dying even after we'd finally thrown in the towel. Nixon also kept bombing away, killing tens of thousands of people, mainly civilians, and our POW's were still stuck in horrendous camps, but because the peace talks were stalled, nobody got to come home.

Kerry was one of thousands of concerned visitors to Paris in those days from all over the country and world who observed and asked questions of both sides, trying to push the process forward to end the GD war once and for all. Kerry probably helped save a lot of US lives, including those of POW's. He certainly never did anything unethical nor did he ever "help the enemy". In fact, getting to the end of those negotiations ASAP could only help US troops and our nation.

Kerry certainly saved many US troops lives in his work with VVAW, though he didn't like some of their radical ways and quit that organization soon after he'd joined it. The FBI finalized their surveillance report on Kerry (Nixon had JK under surveillance for two years!) that he wsa a moderate, very lawful, never did anything radical, illegal or wrong. End of story. Blessed are the peacemakers, baby. Jesus said that. And quit smearing our war hero leaders.
