Wow...check this article out that I just found in a search on "Kerry, Soviet"...an article about his father.

Kerry's World: Father Knows Best

An excerpt:

The Soviet Union wasn't nearly as imperialistic as American politicians warned, [Richard] Kerry argues. "Seeing the Soviet Union as the aggressor in every instance, and the U.S. as only reacting defensively, relieves an American observer from the need to see any parallel between our use of military power in distant parts of the world, and the Soviet use of military power outside the Soviet Union," he writes. He further claims that "Third world Marxist movements were autonomous national movements" -- outside Moscow's orbit. The book culminates in a plea for a hardheaded, realist foreign policy that removes any pretense of U.S. moral superiority.

This is the exact same argument that the reknowned Leftist, Noam Chomsky, routinely makes. Obviously, these useful idiots have decided to ignore all the information that has come foward since the collapse of the Soviet Union. From Venona to the release of Soviet archives...to even the first-hand declarations made by ex-KGB agents, those within the Empire have implicated themselves in this global conspiracy to spread Communism. Geez...From the original Comintern around 1919, the Soviet Union made infiltration and insurection a staple of theirs. The fact that we still have Leftists denying something that many Soviets have now admitted to, is sickening.
