The truth shall set you free. Realizing that history books are written by those who are alive to tell the tales, and often that means the vanquished are not, might make some of us not so quick to jump on the blind patriotism bandwagon. Do I support John Kerry for President? Only because Dennis Kucinich isn't going anywhere. Will I vote for Kerry? Sure. Why? I'll vote for him because he, even in admitting war atrocities that he witnessed and so at least some degree participated in, recognizes that war is not always right, even if, in a reactionary time, it is originally supported (Vietnam was supported as a war against the spread of the "evils" of Communism) and that war crimes are crimes against humanity. Bush doesn't see that. Of course, he doesn't seem to care, either.
