Does John Kerry have blood on his hands?

Does John Kerry have blood on his hands? Perhaps the following, extracted from the Introduction (written by Jamie Glazov) of David Horowitzs book Left Illusions An Intellectual Odyssey, will help you assess this question.
"After the communist victory in Vietnam in 1975, the North Vietnamese began executing tens of thousands of South Vietnamese and setting up re-education camps. The general repression prompted an exodus of two million refugees, unprecedented in the history of Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese boat people perished in the Gulf of Thailand and in the South China Sea in their attempt to escape the communist new order that the efforts of the New Left had helped to bring about. In Cambodia, the victory of the communists led to the slaughter of some three million Cambodian peasants. More peasants were killed in Indochina in the first three years of communist rule than had been killed on both sides during the thirteen years of the anti-communist war. Horowitz later reflected on the cause of these events:"
"Every testimony by North Vietnamese generals in the postwar years has affirmed that they knew they could not defeat the United States on the battlefield, and that they counted on the division of our people at home to win the war for them. The Vietcong forces we were fighting in South Vietnam were destroyed in 1968. In other words, most of the war and most of the casualties in the war occurred because the dictatorship of North Vietnam counted on the fact Americans would give up the battle rather than pay the price necessary to win it. This is what happened. The blood of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, and tens of thousands of Americans, is on the hands of the anti-war activists who prolonged the struggle and gave victory to the Communists."

Monsieur Jean KerryMeasure Number: H.R. 3396 (Defense of Marriage Act )
Kerry (D-MA), Nay
"I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism.
Presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) blasted Pope John Paul II, telling the pontiff to keep his theology out of American politics when it comes to homosexual rights.

The answer is simple to anyone who knows just how fanatical and illogical the anti-Vietnam leftists (like Kerry) really were. These people believed Ho Chi Minh was a hero, America was a murderous tyrant, the Soviet Union was benign and defending itself against our encirclement, AND they truly wanted the USA to disarm. They caused us to abandon Indo China when the N Vietnamese launched a massive tank attack in violation of the peace treaty Nixon had negotiated. The liberal dems blocked President Ford from even sending our allies supplies (He went on TV appealing for Congress to act). But in the mind of Kerry, the people of that region were "saved" from American napalm.

As a philadelphian, I am so disappointed to see John Kerry eating a philly cheesesteak with tomatoes and lettuce! If he can't be trusted to eat a cheesesteak the right way, how can we count on him to handle the nuclear arsenal! And I heard a rumor that he ordered the sandwich with Swiss Cheese! What a putz!

If Jean Chiraq Kerry really witnessed US Soldiers engaged in the torture of POW's, and failed to bring charges against their torturers, he has also aided and abetted crimes which are felonies under the UCMJ. Hardly the type of conduct that merits an honorable discharge.

Kerry is not Catholic. I don't mean that in the sense that Kennedy is not Catholic. I mean he's not Catholic at all.
