Finish what you started

It appears Senator John Kerry is gung ho in support of U.S. intervention in the Mexican drug wars.

You remember John Kerry. When Kerry was an anti war Vietnam vet, he famously asked the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

Why doesn't Kerry use his power and influence as chair of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee to wind up one of the three wars we're currently involved in, rather than start a fourth?

By the way - - the Democrats won the popular vote in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008. The only Democratic presidential ticket to lose the popular vote since the 1980's was headed by John Kerry. Why does he retain any respect or influence?
