You're a liar. Kerry never worked with Fonda. He was a war hero/moderate peace-maker and helped save guys like you, if you were in fact in Nam. If you were there, you know that after 1969 or so that war was doomed. By 1971 it was totally hopeless and needed to END. By then, no way to win, just get your ass killed for nothing. And plenty of overkill on our side, wiping out anything that moved. It was one of the worst mistakes the USA has ever made and we owe a big apology to that poor little country, as well as to ourselves.

You wrote: and Bill Clinton got us to where we are today.... My! That's a sweeping and very glib statement! The fact of the matter was that Clinton saw the solution of the Moslem problem lay in securing a historic peace deal between Israel and Palestine. In his attempt to get the two sides to sign a peace accord, Clinton felt obliged to be a "nicey" guy to Moslems worldwide. He felt this way until his ratings on his job began to fall and only then did he lob some cruise missiles and "smart" bombs here and there against terrorist Moslems. The truth of the matter is that the fanatic Moslem problem is a very difficult one. What many seem to ignore is the fact that besides OIL, ISRAEL (that believes in their "Chosen-ness" or destiny) is a very big part of the problem. Like it or not, and rightly or wrongly, I believe that an Israel-less Middle East will be far more peaceful or far less troublesome. Not too long ago, one gag said that the Middle East problem could be solved by evacuating all its inhabitants and then dehumanizing the entire are with a few neutron bombs (bombs that leave infrastructure intact) or destroy everything with a couple of "megaton" hydrogen bombs. So, don't just blame Clinton or the Moslems for the problems we face today. As I have often indicated, there's always more than what just meets the eye. We all have to learn to ferret out unpleasant truths about things often hidden from us for all sorts of reasons, notably politically expedient reasons.
