This includes the communists in Vietnam who, to this day, continue to make that place a third-world country.

Of course you know that the Diem regime in the south was one of the most corrupt imaginable....yet we supported it simply because the enemy of my enemy was our friend....a little like Iran during the Shah, Iraq in Saddam's earlier days, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and a host of other undemocratic nations today. Furthermore, the pretext for going to war in Vietnam was a falsehood, just as the one used to go into Iraq. Two wrongs don't make a right.

This includes the inhumane warlords who attacked American soldiers in Mogadishu, the very soldiers sent to deliver humanitarian aid to starving Somalis.

The ranger squad that went into that area of Mogadishu did so on intel that general Haidid was thought to be there with his lieutenants. They went there to capture or kill him, not feed him. The battle erupted because his militia chose to defend him.
