Kerry's unintended message

"you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well.

"And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq,"

There's one part of Kerry's controversial statement in Pasadena that I agree with: Kerry said that students are responsible for their own destinies. He didn't say that they're stuck in Iraq because the government doesn't spend enough on education; he said that they get stuck because they don't study. I agree with Kerry that studying often leads to greater academic achievement. Students: listen to Kerry and study so that you have a better chance to make a nice income. Oh, and if you study hard and still want to join the military, most of America won't think you're dumb- just Kerry.

That's a good question. He could have become sympathetic with the anti-war cause after leaving. I always assume people are sincere in their beliefs. Either way, I think it's bad form to overly criticize people you worked with. It's sort of like betraying their trust and one of the reasons I don't talk about work.
