Bush 'on the Couch' Published: September 3, 2004 Bush Dismisses Idea That Kerry Lied on Vietnam (August 27, 2004) To the Editor: In "Bush Dismisses Idea That Kerry Lied on Vietnam" (front page, Aug. 27), President Bush said he would resist going "on the couch" to rethink his decisions about the occupation of Iraq. While he uses this figure of speech to disclaim any interest in learning from his mistakes or, for that matter, from history, he's also making a backhanded stab at psychoanalysis, as if to say that not understanding oneself is a matter of pride. Forget analysis; his lack of curiosity and empathy makes him unsuitable for it. But his apparent incapacity for even the slightest degree of self-awareness and self-inquiry is his most troubling - and dangerous - quality. Kerry J. Sulkowicz, M.D. New York, Aug. 29, 2004 The writer is a clinical professor of psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine.

As the veterans vote gradually shift from the historical 60-40 GOP-DNC split to 70-30 then 75-25 I expect that there eventually will be a stampede to Dubya once the vets realize that this is really their best opportunity to repudiate once and for all the fundamental negativism of the American left that robbed the Vietnam veterans of their honor and the meaning of being part of a purpose that was larger than themselves. 90-10 should just about do it. What sayeth thou, fellow warriors? Kerry is done anyway. Go ahead and stick a fork in him.
