How are you going to "win" against a to-the-death committed enemy like that when "winning" requires destroying their will to resist whatever it is that you're trying to force feed them? I guess I missed that paragraph in my history books about how the US surrendered to Japan, acknowledging they couldn't win against their kamikazes and Banzai charges.. Hmmm.... How are you going to "win" against a to-the-death committed enemy like that when "winning" requires destroying their will to resist whatever it is that you're trying to force feed them? And exactly how did Marxist-Leninism enter the repetoire of the average NVA rice farmer?? Did they "buy" what the Soviets and Chinese were "selling"?? Or did they have a choice?? Are you really so barbaric that you think whatever we were after in Vietnam and are after in Iraq would and does justify that bloodbath of women and children? Didn't stop the NVA, did it?? Terrorizing villagers, extracting their taxes and tribute? Cooperate or die?? So the answer is to just sit back, put on rose-tinted glasses, smoke our crack pipes, and let the rest of the world be subjugated to ideologies perpetrated by people who have PLENTY of stomach for imposing their brutal tyrannies upon people.. All because we don't have the stomach to engage in counter-insurgency. So what happens when we're the only ones left? Hawk
