It's awfully hard not to draw a parallel.
This is what Kruschhev was talking about. They used the fledgling anti-war movement to indoctrinate future leaders of America. Clinton the Bubba didn't take too well, he was too busy nailing the bubushkas. Hillawitch was too wild and unpredictable although she has her uses. Kerry was ideal, a Kennedy Klone without the booze at a time when Kennedy was the American ideal, at least in Soviet minds.
They never will get to see it though, they never counted on Old Mr. Reagan, a Hollywood cowboy to bust up their act and now a Texas cowboy is going to do the same.
