Remember when Bush the Younger said this about Vladimir Putin:
Bush went on to describe Putin as a straightforward and trustworthy man. Put all of the game-playing rhetoric aside and national leaders still evaluate one another as men. Well, Putin looked John Kerry in the eye and he saw a man who betrayed his own country:
Make no mistake here. Putin is no friend of America. He, and Russia, will always be closer to Peking than to Washington. Aside from alliances, Putin must hold John Kerry in contempt for betraying his own country after he, Kerry, returned from Vietnam:
It must make a former KGB guy like Putin sick to his stomach to treat Kerry with respect in public.
More importantly, Putins correct judgement of Kerry puts the US at a disadvantage. That has to swing negotiations in Putins favor. Worse still, every head of state knows what Kerry is. (Apparently, the US Senate has no idea of what Kerry is.)
Parenthetically, one has to wonder if Putin has anything on Kerry learned from American Communists, or the USSRs Communist allies in Vietnam and China.
Finally, if you think occupying the moral high ground man-to-man is unimportant try Ronald Reagan telling Mikhail Gorbachev:
Now, apply that to John Kerry who never had a good word to say about fighting communism in Vietnam, while he never said a bad word Communist slaughters that took place after South Vietnam fell.
And please dont relate the UNs war against Islamic fundamentalism in Afghanistan to the war waged by the Soviet Union. Americas only crime in Afghanistan is fighting as part of a United Nations coalition. In the years ahead, America will get all of the blame if the war fails to accomplish anything good, while the United Nations will get all of the credit should the war produce positive results.
I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul

What you are doing in Afghanistan in burning villages and killing children. Its genocide, and you are the one who has to stop it.
Now, apply that to John Kerry who never had a good word to say about fighting communism in Vietnam, while he never said a bad word Communist slaughters that took place after South Vietnam fell.
