The war itself was not a good idea, and never was - campaigning against it should be seen as a strong point.

So, Cam, before you go .. ..
Are you saying that
wanting (working) to end the war trumps all other actions?
For example, what if Kerry saw a way to get the US out of the war by promising the VC that they could have not just SV, but we'll throw in the Phillippines too? . . .is war subject to an
end justifies the means ideal, to find an end?
It is difficult to argue that Kerry had a smart solution to ending the conflict.
Making the war effort even more horrible (for your own side)
is hardly the work of a great mind. . . Kerrys strategy of doing what he could to make the US LOSE is certainly not the type of possitioning I want from our CiC. --It is that simple.
