I would like to see some historian do a comparitive study on the impact of what the war protesters had on the lives of the south vietnamese people. How many deaths (civilian and domestic military) these people caused by their cowardness, concealed as humanitarnism.

I'm at a loss of words for people that have respect for scum like Kerry.

Remember most of the "historians" that would do this would come from academia and this a field of "learning" from the College of LEBERAL Arts. The end result would be about as fair and accurate as Peter Arnett interviewing Baghdad Bob.

I know I'm sounding like a broken record on this issue.

The Vietnamese American newspapers here in Northern Virginia are running front page stories about Kerry, complete with the above-the-fold Newsmax.com Kerry/Fonda photo. Some papers include more Fonda photos on the jump pages.

They are calling Kerry "phan boi" (traitor) and "mat con ngua" (horseface), among other things.

Aside from the reality that zero Vietnamese Americans have ever heard of these alleged atrocities against Vietnamese civilians, there is a great deal of contempt for Kerry's behavior in VVAW.

Did his actions hurt any South Vietnamese? Well, since his actions accelerated our chaotic withdrawl from VN, and caused the Congress to not provide the promised military aid post-1973, I think you can safely assert that Kerry is indirectly responsible for a great deal of pain in South Vietnam. Pain which extends to this very day.
