Reply #4: I don't think anyone could care more than John Kerry does about [View All]

Iraq. He was just there talking to the troops, and is going to do everything he can, given that the Dems are in the minority. If he had won, you can bet he'd have done a lot more. His vote against Condi Rice was a vote against Bush's war in Iraq.

I'm wondering what you realistically expect him to do?

The post about Congress withdrawing money for the Vietnam war was right--if we could get them to withdraw money it would go a long way. But the Repubs have the majority, and it will be up to them.

It's also up to us--each one of us needs to protest in whatever way we can. Don't just sit and leave it up to Washington. That was the other component of our withdrawal from Vietnam--public outcry. Nixon was secretly considering nuking Vietnam, but public opinion against the war made him think twice.
