John Kerry's law of unintended consequences

I do not believe for a second that John Kerry intended for his words to be used by the Vietcong to harass our POW's in 1972. However this was the effect. I would have hoped that John Kerry would have learned from that incident that words matter and a leader's words have effects that can be tragic, but here's a story that got below most people's radar. This story goes directly to the question of John Kerry's judgment. Political opportunism drives this man, he proved that in his post-Vietnam activism and he has proven it again in this campaign. I fear George Bush for being an imperialist who is completely ignorant of the function or sanctity of the Constitution, but I fear John Kerry more because he is a naked political opportunist who would say or do anything if he felt it advanced his personal agenda including, but not limited to, being imperialistic and ignoring the Constitution. Say, for example, spread a rumor that the draft would be re-instated by George Bush or that Private Social Security accounts is code for leaving Grandma on the front porch overnight in January. I think that John Kerry's lack of judgment combined with his naked ambition could, if elected president, lead to far worse unintended consequences than angry Haitians and tortured POW's.
