AS, I think 75% of Americans were against the Vietnam War by 1971. Hardly a radical viewpoint. I'm not saying it is, but why no mention of that book with the upside-down flag on the cover? Surely a man who's "earned" the right to lead veterans against the war would be proud of what he did during those years, no? But of course, he's trying to cover it up or at least draw attention away from it, as if this was like a certain car accident in Chappaquiddick. Here's the bottom line, AS. To Kerry, it's all about image. The Harley he drove onto the Tonight Show, his attempt to nibble on a Philly cheese steak, and his proud displaying of his medals (the very medals he "neglected" to throw over the fence) are all part of the same "Image is everything" strategy of Bill Clinton. In reality, John Kerry today is no different from Ted Kennedy. GW Bush meanwhile went AWOL and has no right to offer any opinion about the war. He was elected President, despite objections from the Sore Losermen to this day. That makes him your Commander-In-Chief; in other words, he has every right to offer opinions about the war. Americans have the option of voting him out in November. Somehow, I doubt they will. Tenchusatsu
