Protecting the good of the people of this nation is more important than protecting a corrupt administration.
Do these anti-Kerry people honestly think it would have been better if everyone just shut up and pretended everything in Vietnam was going great? I doubt it ... but ... that's what they want us to do now about Iraq .. so, I dunno, maybe protecting a fantasy is more imporant to them than facing real problems.

Exactly. Kerry and many others were right and the Vietnam conflict was wrong, as proven by history.
I recommend all of you that think differently to go to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) and visit the Museum Of American War Atrocities. If you think beheadings are cruel, you will see a picture of smiling GI's posing with a freshly beheaded vietcong. But the worst are the pictures of Mai Lai, and the effects of US chemical weapons (Agent Orange) on Vietnamese children and unborn foetus.
