Jacob, There was no reason the Vietcong couldn't have done what Al Queda has done, the WTC and Bali attacks. They chose not to target our civilians; they chose to limit the conflict to their own homeland; they could have made other choices. Maybe. But just maybe it never occurred to anyone to do something like this before. What nationality are you from in Europe? My ancestors came after the indian wars and slavery, do we have to get into this guilt trip you seem to be on? Bad shit happened. I think we all agree on that. However, the US did not become a major power until WW1 and was not a dominant power until WW2. Your constant jumping between the current context and the historical seems strange at best. Did you do some geneology and discover that your ancestry owned slaves and scalped indians? And even if they did, what has that got to do with current Foreign Affairs? John
