In 2001, the United States House of Representatives, by a vote of 410 to 1, passed a bill that would link U.S. aid to Vietnam to the improvement of human rights conditions in the country. But the bill was blocked in the Senate the following year by Kerry, who was then chair of the subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs... But Kerry's position on Vietnam is difficult to reconcile with his position on Cuba, where he supports continuing the trade embargo. And while he criticizes "Vietnamese hard-liners," he courts Cuban hard-liners for his presidential campaign. Kerry obviously worries about the Cuban vote, but not the Vietnamese vote. You made my day. I am so happy to finally see that reported in a newspaper. What has not yet been reported is that Kerry's family makes an annual fortune from Vietnamese sweat shops and not a penny in Cuba.
