Kerry met in 1970, by his own admission, with delegations from the North
Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam War should
be
stopped.

Looked at the tags clothing lately? Vietnam's becoming a happy little
capitalist country, regardless of their government. It probably could've
gotten there about 30 years faster without our so-called "help". Since
capitalism is what we WANT to see as a worldwide system (supposedly), Kerry
may have done us a favor, if his efforts in any way sped things up.
