<DIV></DIV>>Showboat
<DIV></DIV>>Topic: Current Events
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>One recent political surprise is the fact that the swift boat controversy has
<DIV></DIV>>actually become a controversy. Normally this kind of thing just gets buried. I
<DIV></DIV>>don't know if this issue has feet because of Internet coverage, because of Fox
<DIV></DIV>>News, or because there are some Democrats who don't really want a Kerry win to
<DIV></DIV>>keep Hillary from running in 08.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>But however it got out and around, the controversy is showing considerable
<DIV></DIV>>signs of life. If you want to check it out, you can get started at
<DIV></DIV>>swiftvets.com. As controversies go, this is a good one.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>John Kerry, from the time of his youth, appears to have had a considerable
<DIV></DIV>>talent for showboating. Here was a man who made movies of himself At War,
<DIV></DIV>>capering prettily across the battlefield. Here was a man who wrote up his own
<DIV></DIV>>heroism, wrangling enough purple hearts to get a short tour of duty. And then,
<DIV></DIV>>when he got back home, he threw his medals away and accused his thoroughly
<DIV></DIV>>disgusted band of brothers of being guilty of various war crimes.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>A generation later, why is there any surprise, when this man makes his Vietnam
<DIV></DIV>>service a centerpiece of his campaign for president, that his former comrades
<DIV></DIV>>turn out, almost to a man, to denounce him as a scoundrel? There is really only
<DIV></DIV>>one way for Kerry to answer these men. He cannot say they are doing this
<DIV></DIV>>because they are Republicans. These are the men he accused of committing war
<DIV></DIV>>crimes in an almost nonchalant fashion. He either needs to renew the
<DIV></DIV>>accusations he made a generation ago, and say that these men are attacking him
<DIV></DIV>>now because they were war criminals then, or he needs to acknowledge the force
<DIV></DIV>>of what they are saying, and open up all his military records for public
<DIV></DIV>>scrutiny. But all the early indications are that these records would not bear
<DIV></DIV>>up well under scrutiny.
