I agree with your sentiments. It is very unlikely that he would apaologize...and given what he has done, it is not enough.

But this effort is much more about educating others and putting information out there in a format that will encourage them to read it and think about it.

The more of that we can do, and the more people who are unaware of Kerry's activities and his history who find out about it, consider it, and then make decisions based upon it...the better. I believe most rational and sincere Americans will decide aright if they find out the truth.

Best Fregards and thanks for your comments and sentiments.

Jeff, I have to admit you are absolutely correct. It is not a reluctant admission on my part; your appraisal (that exposure of this "man's" villainous acts against our Nation even through a false "apology" gains more than an individual statement of candor) is spot on.

You can also certainly note from my responses that I've yet to master the ability to answer a question from a counter-debater and use that venue to really "speak to the crowd" where the deciding-of-minds happens (and counts more in democracy as ours). I wish you to know me better, the following rather clumsy explanation is offered:

Intellectually, I know that the best way to reach people is to invite them to Listen (...ie: not engage their basic human psychological defenses by directly confronting their belief/world-view - something that I do; alot...); this is more effective than being as blunt and confrontational as I generally am. I know myself well enough that, even as I recognize the above, I know that I am who I am - and am at peace with this. In the fight against tyranny and evil, there is room for many ways to fight the fight. The important thing is to know is that - for victory and the safety of our children (paraphrasing Edmund Burke) - that good men stand up to it.

I'm glad that we're on the same side, sir.
