"Americans are inclined to see the world and foreign affairs in black and white. They celebrate their own form of government and denigrate all others, making them guilty of what he calls 'ethnocentric accommodation' -- everyone ought to be like us. As a result, America has committed the 'fatal error' of 'propagating democracy' and fallen prey to 'the siren's song of promoting human rights,' falsely assuming that our values and institutions are a good fit in the Third World. And, just as Americans exaggerate their own goodness, they exaggerate their enemies' badness. The Soviet Union wasn't nearly as imperialistic as American politicians warned. Seeing the Soviet Union as the aggressor in every instance, and the U.S. as only reacting defensively, relieves an American observer from the need to see any parallel between our use of military power in distant parts of the world, and the Soviet use of military power outside the Soviet Union. . . . Third world Marxist movements were autonomous national movements -- outside Moscow's orbit."

They connected the dots in 1998 but Senator Kerry and MSM can't seem to connect the dots in 2004.
Here is an easy to read chart of what the media was saying pre-911 (and after): Connect the Dots...Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden
.
"They threw the Sandanistas out of power because they wanted freedom instead of a Communist dictatorship."
I hope those who think Kerry is not one of the card-carrying communists will read that statement twice, as this is his objective: total control, and absolute power.
Hell, he doesn't even want to show up for work!
Is is significant that bin Laden explicitly alluded to the Reagan era in his speech today. This means that the anti Western cabal specifically view their efforts to undermine us as a counterthrust against what Reagan did. They want us to lose ground. To them, a Kerry victory would symbolically be our loss of footing leading to a long fall downward.
About a year ago, while passing through the San Francisco Airport, my attention was caught by the voice of a native Grenadian. He was talking to another guy from England about other places of the world he'd been. It caught my attention, because on October 25th, 1983 I was arguably the first pilot to land on this tiny remote Island. An Island that was full of Cuban soldiers and a runway, under construction, that could support a long range nuclear bomber. I waited to join the conversation, not having heard this accent for nearly 2 decades...I was curious. After a bit of small talk, and not revealing at first my past (I wanted to know, good or bad, the truth), I asked, "Was the invasion of Grenada worth it?" To this, the kind gentleman from Grenada began to tell me that without the brave intervention of US Soldiers and immediate action of President Ragan, his country would never have survived the communist threat. I remember when the medical students were rescued, the appreciation they felt, and I remember as a member of the US Army's Only Special Operation Aviation Task Force, at the time a major weapon against terrorism, just how it felt to save lives from the hands of such brutality. 1983 was not long removed from the public’s perception of the late 60s and early 70s. Anti-War sentiment was still very high, and lingering suspicions, developed by the likes of John Kerry, that we were baby killers, rapists, setting innocent villages on fire were still in the forefronts of the public mind. I was heartened to hear these kind words 2 decades later. Communism was a real threat abroad, but it was equally a threat at home. I'm convinced that Vietnam was won by our troops on 4N soil. But it was at home, by the likes of cowards and traitors like John Kerry who lied and betrayed us on domestic soil that the war was lost. Our soldiers from Vietnam are real American Hero's robbed of honor from those without honor. Let us never forget nor underestimate the threat at home in a time of war. The enemy has learned that traitors, like John Kerry, in high places, are as effective, if not more, than a nuclear weapon. Lies can devastate and level a nation. The business suits the hippies of the 60s have donned in the board rooms of the NYTs, CBS, and DNC are the new camouflage worn by these traitors and haters of the American way. Fight with your vote and your voice, at every turn, when confronted with the insidious work of these pacifists that have allow more people to die through inaction over the past century than died from war since the beginning of recorded history. Its time to clean house with our vote and send a signal to these traitors that they can no longer hide. Let's not only remember, Lets act...
Because of Kerry's collusion with Communists in the early 1970's when he protested the Vietnam War and meeting with agents of the NVA in Paris, to me, that is the ultimate lynch pin that slams the door shut. His prior service, his handing out welfare, his debating ability, and other such deeds he's done since them mean nothing. When Kerry met with the Communists, that is the American version of committing an ultimate sin. If he repented, apologized, and said his mea culpa and meant it, well, that is on the road to redemption but since he hasn't well..... Still though you have a lot of rubes that would vote for because they are hippies, want handouts, hate Bush, and so on.
save for later
