Does John Kerry have blood on his hands? Left Illusions: An Intellectual Odyssey Glazov/Horowitz Does John Kerry have blood on his hands? Perhaps the following, extracted from the Introduction (written by Jamie Glazov) of David Horowitz’s book Left Illusions An Intellectual Odyssey, will help you assess this question. "After the communist victory in Vietnam in 1975, the North Vietnamese began executing tens of thousands of South Vietnamese and setting up “re-education camps.” The general repression prompted an exodus of two million refugees, unprecedented in the history of Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese boat people perished in the Gulf of Thailand and in the South China Sea in their attempt to escape the communist new order that the efforts of the New Left had helped to bring about. In Cambodia, the victory of the communists led to the slaughter of some three million Cambodian peasants. More peasants were killed in Indochina in the first three years of communist rule than had been killed on both sides during the thirteen years of the anti-communist war. Horowitz later reflected on the cause of these events:" "Every testimony by North Vietnamese generals in the postwar years has affirmed that they knew they could not defeat the United States on the battlefield, and that they counted on the division of our people at home to win the war for them. The Vietcong forces we were fighting in South Vietnam were destroyed in 1968. In other words, most of the war and most of the casualties in the war occurred because the dictatorship of North Vietnam counted on the fact Americans would give up the battle rather than pay the price necessary to win it. This is what happened. The blood of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, and tens of thousands of Americans, is on the hands of the anti-war activists who prolonged the struggle and gave victory to the Communists."
