	PWHCE - John Kerry's Presidential Campaign and the Vietnam Syndrome
		The career of Democrat Presidential hopeful John Kerry was shaped by his opposition to all forms of American support for South Vietnam against Communist takeover - he ultimately facilitated the triumph of a totalitarian dictatorship.
		In calling for an end to the war, John Kerry was essentially calling for the United States to immediately withdraw from South Vietnam, regardless of the probable adverse consequences for its people who were vulnerable to a communist takeover.
		The dynamics of American domestic politics at the time of John Kerry's 1971 testimony were such that it was near impossible for the Nixon Administration to maintain a troop commitment in South Vietnam beyond its first term, which was due to end in early 1973.

	Shrum strikes back? By Chris Suellentrop
		Kerry is sputtering … His campaign has been called listless and unfocused, words that were also applied to Shrum's last presidential enterprise, the Gore campaign (a forbidden comparison within Kerry headquarters).
		Clinton himself was critical of the campaign's reluctance to attack Bush—a position Shrum had advocated—in a phone call to Kerry … Shrum's brand of old-style liberalism—steeped in the tradition of his political patron, Ted Kennedy—is anathema to the centrist, New Democrat ethic that got Clinton elected twice.
		The one thing Leibovich couldn't nail down was Shrum's role in the Kerry campaign after the elevation of John Sasso and Michael Whouley and the infusion of Clinton operatives like Joe Lockhart.

		Kerry's staff had to feverishly work the phones to newspaper reporters, imploring and bluffing and trying to play on what little shame the press had left.

	The New Yorker: Fact
		Kerry had stayed up late for several nights, crafting his speech, and it was as succinct and cogent a summation of his case against the President as he has offered to date.
		Kerry defends his stand on both wars on the same ground: that the action was needlessly rushed, when a little bit more time could have been used to build a lot more support—in 1990 among an almost evenly divided American public, and last year among potential allies.
		Kerry was in combat in Vietnam for four months, and he came home with three Purple Hearts for relatively minor wounds, a Bronze Star “for heroic achievement,” a Silver Star “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action,” and with what he called his “war notes,” hundreds of handwritten pages of journals and impressions.
