Win, Whats your point? Whats your proposal? Yes, the cold war was ugly. Yes, we backed some pretty bad guys to deal with their pretty bad guys. Lets think about who we were fighting. The Soviets - who killed how many millions (8 figures) in most cases their own people. Now how about those nice Chinese - how many died there - conservitive estimates are 8 figures (49 - thru Nixon and detente). Then in SE Asia when we finally did get out, what was the figure? It was close to 3 million. We backed some pretty bad people in WW2 while fighting the Nazi's and Japanese (Stalin among others). Should we have fought them at the same time? Morality cannot always be conveniently black and white, good and evil. Else we all halve to be good christians and offer no resistance to the lions. John
