KGB Letter Outlines Sen. Kennedy's Overtures to Soviets,
Prof Says

(CNSNews.com) - The antipathy that congressional Democrats have today toward President George W. Bush is
reminiscent of their distrust of President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War, a political science professor says.
"We
see some of the same sentiments today, in that some Democrats see the Republican president as being a threat and the true
obstacle to peace, instead of seeing our enemies as the true danger," said Paul Kengor, a political science professor at Grove
City College and the author of new book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.
In his book,
which came out this week, Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward
Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan's
foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.
The letter, dated May 14, 1983, was sent from the
head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then General Secretary of the Soviet Union's Communist Party.
In his letter,
KGB head Viktor Chebrikov offered Andropov his interpretation of Kennedy's offer. Former U.S. Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.)
had traveled to Moscow on behalf of Kennedy to seek out a partnership with Andropov and other Soviet officials, Kengor claims
in his book.
At one point after President Reagan left office, Tunney acknowledged that he had played the role of intermediary,
not only for Kennedy but for other U.S. senators, Kengor said. Moreover, Tunney told the London Times that he had made 15
separate trips to Moscow.
"There's a lot more to be found here," Kengor told Cybercast News Service. "This
was a shocking revelation."
It is not evident with whom Tunney actually met in Moscow. But the letter does say that
Sen. Kennedy directed Tunney to reach out to "confidential contacts" so Andropov could be alerted to the senator's proposals.
Specifically,
Kennedy proposed that Andropov make a direct appeal to the American people in a series of television interviews that would
be organized in August and September of 1983, according to the letter.
"Tunney told his contacts that Kennedy was
very troubled about the decline in U.S -Soviet relations under Reagan," Kengor said. "But Kennedy attributed this decline
to Reagan, not to the Soviets. In one of the most striking parts of this letter, Kennedy is said to be very impressed with
Andropov and other Soviet leaders."
In Kennedy's view, the main reason for the antagonism between the United States
and the Soviet Union in the 1980s was Reagan's unwillingness to yield on plans to deploy middle-range nuclear missiles in
Western Europe, the KGB chief wrote in his letter.
"Kennedy was afraid that Reagan was leading the world into a nuclear
war," Kengor said. "He hoped to counter Reagan's polices, and by extension hurt his re-election prospects."
As a prelude
to the public relations strategy Kennedy hoped to facilitate on behalf of the Soviets, Kengor said, the Massachusetts senator
had also proposed meeting with Andropov in Moscow -- to discuss the challenges associated with disarmament.
In his
appeal, Kennedy indicated he would like to have Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.) accompany him on such a trip. The two senators
had worked together on nuclear freeze proposals.
But Kennedy's attempt to partner with high-level Soviet officials
never materialized. Andropov died after a brief time in office and was succeeded by Mikhail Gorbachev.
In his attempt
to reach out the Soviets, Kennedy settled on a flawed receptacle for peace, Kengor said. Andropov was a much more belligerent
and confrontational leader than the man who followed him, in Kengor's estimation.
"If Andropov had lived and Gorbachev
never came to power, I can't imagine the Cold War ending peacefully like it did," Kengor told Cybercast News Service.
"Things could have gotten ugly."
In the long run of history, Kengor believes it is evident that Reagan's policies
were vindicated while Kennedy was proven wrong. In fact, as he points out in his book, Kennedy himself made a "gracious concession"
after Reagan died, crediting the 40th president with winning the Cold War.

Oliver Stone recruits Bruce Willis for My Lai massacre film
Because guerrilla warfare basically derives from the masses and is supported
by them, it can neither exist nor flourish if it separates itself from their sympathies and co-operation….The moment
that this war of resistance dissociates itself from the masses of the people is the precise moment that it dissociates itself
from hope of ultimate victory…
-Mao Tse-Tung
On March 17, 2007, based on the communication strengths of the internet,
an estimated 30,000 patriotic Americans from around the nation, came through an east coast snow and ice storm to stand together
at the War Memorials for World War II, the Korea War and the Vietnam War. These proud American flag-wavers stood,
and still stand together in full support of America's men and women in military uniforms around the world.

Webmaster Jack Cunningham
(Sussex, NJ) and George Dros (Cooperstown, NY) are sitting at a table in a Duc Duc Refugee Village peasant hut, near the village's
market place. The two, young United States Marines are members of CAP Team 2-9-2. (CAP Teams were composed
of about 8 to 13 Americans, who lived and served 24/7 in Vietnamese peasant-farming villages. The Duc Duc
Refugee Village was composed of about 2,000 homes.)
In the above picture, Jack's and George's eyes were
shut, because of complete exhaustion. It was July 1970. At the time this picture was taken, the Americans in Duc
Duc were not sure whether the CAP Unit would be pulled out of the village or whether it would be wiped out. We were
experiencing heavy combat. Intelligence reports were coming in daily that the Communists wanted to punish the village
while the Americans were still there.
By wiping out
CAP 2-9-2, the terrorists hoped to leave an example to other CAP Villages. With alerts at the highest level, night ambush
responsibilities were 100% watch throughout the night. With two long patrols a day going outside the village, it didn't
leave much time for the eight or so Americans to sleep.
Around the day this
picture was taken, an intelligence report came in from the 1st Marine Division Headquarters in Da Nang that the high Communist
Command wanted to speed up President Nixon's troop pullout from Vietnam. They wanted to embarrass the Americans on a
wide-scale and influence the American People into pressuring a faster troop pullout. Their plan called for wiping out
the Fifth Marines at An Hoa. It was going to involve thousands of Communist Forces. The Village of Duc Duc was
on the large Marine Base's perimeter and was said to be the main route for the Communist attack. Our orders that night
in July 1970 was to set up in the most well protected position. Our Cap Unit was expected to try and hold off the Communist
drive off as long as possible. We were expected to serve as a warning or trip wire (Queens Gambit) for the Fifth Marines.
Months after Jack and George pulled out of the
village of Duc Duc, the Vietnamese communists punished the peasant village by burning it to the ground. Hundreds of
civilian men, women and children were killed, wounded and reported missing. Two thousands homes were reduced to ashes.
The blaze could be seen from twenty-five (25) miles away in Da Nang. It was the light of the blaze that guided United
States Marines helicopters to the scene.

The boy with Jack is the Marine's village boy. These village boys would run errands, cook C-Rations,
clean up-after, massage tense muscles and serve as interpreters for the Marines. Usually, each Marine had their own
boy to help him around the village.
Many times, adult peasants of Duc Duc would supply these boys with intelligence information of planned
terrorist attacks on the village. Supplying these intelligence reports on terrorist movements and plans may have
been the reason why the Duc Duc Refugee Village was later burned to ashes.
A month after the above picture was taken, the boy lost both of his parents in a terrorist rocket attack
on their area of the Duc Duc Refugee Village. After his parents were killed, the boy moved to a relative's
home closer to the City of Da Nang; which in the long run saved his life the night of the Duc Duc Massacre.
