This morning, I received this email through a mutual acquaintance:

"I am writing this e mail from Saigon Vietnam where i am visiting. I spent 7yrs here during the 60's and am making my first visit back, I am listening to stories from the family's of our south Vietnamese friends who lost love ones in the blood bath after we abandoned them, widow's who had kids and their husbands were put into reeducation camps so called, but there they died. one one lady who was 10 at she time she had 3 younger sibling's and only her to take care of them. I cried as she told me about holding her 5 year old sister in her arms as she died, even she cannot explain how she survived. during the period from 1975 thru 1980 millions died from being deprived of the basic necessities of life . I write this this to say John Kerry and the people like him have the blood of these people on his hands, and if we abandon the good people of Iraq the same thing will happen there, John Kerry cannot be trusted, he doesn't know how to tell the truth. John Rominger HCM City Saigon Vietnam"

That is so sad. This is another area that the MSM are ignoring.

This should also be covered by the MSM:

1. What happens when America abandons an effort, ie, "bring the troops home."

2. We could have won Vietnam, but didn't. Why?

3. What happened inside Vietnam after we left? What happened to the people?

These, and more, are all issues the press should be covering.

Kerry brought up Vietnam. Why aren't they covering it? Thought he was so proud of his actions?

Confused Confused Confused Confused

They really want to stay far away from that topic. Their boy would have too much explaining to do 2 weeks before the election.
