Kerry went to Vietnam and was wounded - a lot of people did. Bush got special treatment to avoid Vietnam - a lot of people did. What matters today is how they handle questions about it.
An attempt was made to smear Kerry. Kerry defended himself and the record backs his version: the smear was a lie and failed.
An attempt is being made to smear Bush. Bush has made no move to refute the charges, and has refused to answer CBS' questions. We do know that the version of events as Bush has related do NOT match the records.
The way to end the "politics of personal destruction" isn't to reward those who use that tactic by rolling over and giving up - but to demand the truth from politicians and the media and reward those who tell us the truth.
