How frightening is Kerry's worldview when one today looks at the Middle East?
His worldview is easily adaptable today - pull out of the Middle East because we'll never be able to democratize them. Put in "Iraq" for "Vietnam", and it's not much different.
I also love how O'Neil gets hammering Kerry that he's trying to use his military service to get him elected to Congress. Again, not much has changed in 30 years.
Keep Kerry in the 70's!!!

This is a real eye-opener. It's amazing how little Lurch's talking points and tactics have changed. Another example: He complained that a residual force of American troops (following Vietnaminazation and to support peace/POW negotiations) would only be targets for insurgents. Same thing we're hearing from Nader/Kuchinich/Dean, and I predict will soon be hearing from the "mainstream" Democrats.
Kerry then expected Americans to believe (or his followers to pretend to believe) that Communists in a South Vietnamese coalition government would place nice if we just picked up and left. Today he expects us to believe that the U.N. could handle Iraq much better; that their "peace keepers" wouldn't be attacked by islamists, and wouldn't run away.
Reality is a persistent problem for 'Rats and leftists.
