HP. She was a staunch supporter of the Vietnam War.

She was a brilliant woman....and that one decision certainly doesn't discredit her.

Something that kills that many people does discredit someone.

That was a just war, unlike Vietnam. The Japanese internment isn't excusable, but those that died in the camps did so of natural causes, they weren't death camps.

BRTD, John Kerry also supported the Iraq War, a war I would also rate as unjust. Many people have died as a result of that war....does that discredit John Kerry as well? Or is it different because he's a liberal Democrat from MA that ran against Bush?

His vote was wrong but he wasn't voting to just attack, he wanted more leverage to force Iraq to allow weapons inspectors in. Now it's stupid to think that Bush would've acted as such but still different. Also he turned against the war. I mean all but two Senators voted for the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, including George McGovern, but that doesn't mean McGovern didn't change for the better.
