#1 This is indeed vile. Kerry is clearly expressing his sympathies now for the Bambi Zapateros of the world. Disgusting.

#2 Of all our allies in the world, which is the only one to have joined the United States in the foxhole in every war in the past 100 years? Not Britain, not Canada, certainly not France. The answer is Australia.

Where the Australians involved in Bosnia? Kosovo? Grenada? Panama? The Aussies are great allies, probably out best ally, but that claim of every war is so circa Ronald Reagan. Its meant to highlight that they fought in Vietnam while the British and Canada did not. Britian is one hell of an allie even if they didn't join us in Vietnam (could have used some of that how the UK won in Malaya info, if the US would have listened).

#3 In my opinion Kerry is, and always was a traitor to the United States of America.

I think he comitted treason after he 'served' in the Vietnam war by meeting illegally with and giving aid and comfort to the enemy during time of war and he is comitting treason now by giving aid and comfort to the enemy now (The terrorists).

If he could I beleve he would meet with and give aid and comfort to OBL himself.

These are, of course, my opinions.

#4 Mr. Schwarz, I suspect that the reference to wars includes WW1, WW2, Korea, VietNam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Bosnia, Kosovo, Grenada, and Panama don't rise to the level of a war and were just "operations." As you suggest, for those of us of a certain age, VietNam is a good gauge of allies. Only Australia and South Korea put boots on the ground with us. Something worth remembering. I like the Brits too, but the Aussies have been solid.
