Apology accepted. You say it wouldn't take much to come up with a better foreign policy than the Bush policy? I'm still waiting to hear ANY foreign policy from Kerry. Tiresomely bringing up his Vietnam service as a shield won't cut it. He wants my vote, he has to tell me how he plans to fight the WOT. Or perhaps I should say, IF he plans to fight it.

Antonin Scalia was born March 11, 1936 in Trenton, NJ. My dad, who was born in 1932, was drafted and served in the Korean War. He was 18. Scalia would have been 14. Nobody born before 1944 was eligible for the draft for Vietnam. In other words, you're spouting horseshit. As usual. Or maybe you're too old to remember the first draft lottery, December 1, 1969. I remember it well, my boyfriend's birthdate, June 8, was #366.

Liberals are so fickle. In 1992 draft dodging & lying about it did not disqualify one to be President in their view. So much so that a Senator passionately spoke in chambers about it..... <font size=4> "We do not need to divide America over who served and how." "I am saddened by the fact that Vietnam has yet again been inserted into the campaign, and that it has been inserted in what I feel to be the worst possible way... What saddens me most is that Democrats, above all those who shared the agonies of that generation, should now be re- fighting the many conflicts of Vietnam in order to win the current political conflict of a presidential primary." - Senator John Kerry Fast forward to 2004.... Hmmmmm..... I wonder what changed?
