Zakrosian -- <<"he Vietnam War was prolonged by the protest against it. ">> The Viets told the French they would have given up at least twice if not for the protestors giving them hope. They lost nearly 1/2 million more people but kept up the fight knowing the bleeding hearts in the US would give them victory. Kerry is responsible for those deaths and mant US military casualties too!

No, Vietnam was lost by the policy-makers, from both parties. McNamara admits this in "The Fog Of War' film. You must see it if you care about this issue. Kerry was 100% right about Vietnam both on and off the battlefield. The protests were the right thing to do and only began in earnest after five years of quagmire failure, after 30,000 American kids were killed for no good reason. Quit trying to revise history to the extreme rightwing's phony position that the Vietnam War was in any way right or noble. It was the biggest mistake in modern history. We are still paying for it.
