John Kerry's statement against the Vietnam War in 1971

http://www2.iath.virginia.edu/sixties/HTML_docs/Resources/Primary/Manifestos/VVAW_Kerry_Senate.html

I thought Kerry as Defense Secretary was a good choice as he would be less likely to lead us into a reckless war.

How times have changed....

in this world where Bush's legacy of lies will always keep the US presidency paralyzed from acting as a great nation with a great responsibility for humanity?

I suppose so....why bother when other countries don't want to see conventions upheld any more than many who live in post-Bush America. It's not like any of that stuff about 'leader of the free world', or American 'exceptionalism', or 'greatest nation' was ever really true, right?
