>>Did we need kerry to speak out to tell us that there were atrocities taking place in Vietnam? When he accuses ALL American service men and women of rape, torture, pillage and plunder in a manner reminiscent of Gengis Khan, but later flip flops and says he didn't really mean it, he was just repeating what was told to him by men who were not even there, it would have been better for him not to have lied under oath. Even Jane Fonda had the balls to apologize to the Americans and Vietnamese who were injured by her false testimony, and she did so years ago. She explained that she only wanted to end the war, but did not intend to hurt anybody, and was sorry that she had done so. Not your boy. He's stuck to his guns. You love him for it, fine, vote for him. Those of us who prefer to vomit him out will not.

Your credibilty is losing ground fast? The US dumped 25Million tons of ordinance on the north, cambodia and laos, much of it on civilian centers. Total US bomb tonnage dropped was 7 million It sprayed 15million gallons of agent orange on the Vietnam country side. USAF project ranch hand sprayed 8 million gallons More than 1.5 North Vietnamese civilians are estimated to have been killed in the war. They should have stayed home. What right did the Communist NVA have to attack a peaceful, democratic, and non-threatening S Vietnam?
