16. What's astonishing is how...
...regrettably far Kerry has traveled from his brighter days in the 1970s as a critic of Vietnam policy. Today, anxious to mold himself into a candidate palatable to NASCAR America, he can be heard stenuously rejecting any moral condemnation of the US slaughter of millions of Asians.

And just this week, there is his wrongheaded response urging Zapatero of Spain not to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq.

This context is important because it points up how laughable it is to tar Kerry as any kind of radical today. In foreign policy, he's much closer to Bush than to Zapatero. And more's the pity--for Iraq, for America, for the world.
