It seems to me the American people never really forgave the Democrats for being right about Vietnam.

There's nothing the Democrats would like more. He's terribly bright, but he's more far right than he is bright. He's become the embodiment of what most Americans hate about right wingers.

So one important lesson of Vietnam is, the first casualty of an unwise and unjust war are the American troops called on to fight it. Their service should be honored.

It taught me that Clinton's instinct to make this about your life as a citizen, rather than his as a human being, was the right answer to these things.

I don't like being a voyeur, looking into other people's marriages.

But the deep desire for peace remained with the American people.
