Bush, not Kerry, should face scrutiny

LINDA MCQUAIG

It's downright strange that the U.S. presidential election campaign — easily the most important in decades — has come to focus on what happened in a faraway boat during the course of a few minutes more than 30 years ago.

That such a crucial election isn't more focused on the many pressing current issues is remarkable enough.

But if the election is to hinge on what happened decades ago during the Vietnam War, it's truly astonishing that the candidate in the hot seat is the one who actually went to Vietnam and was injured in the line of duty, rather than the one who used family connections to do his service at home and then didn't bother to show up for duty.

It's not surprising that Republicans have tried to smear Democratic candidate John Kerry's impressive war record.
