Larry, As long as you're dredging up more than a month old posts, guess I'll dredge one of your responses to me up too: <<You present an interesting and imaginative history. I might even go so far as to say it's good and original. I too am busy at the moment, and will try to respond more later.>> (post 8702, responding my 8701) I'm still not sure what "good and original" mean, juxtaposed as they were, and, as I said in a later post (cf. #8705), would be most interested to find out. In the latter post, too, I cited some sources for my "imaginative" history of SEA. I suggest you check the Pentagon Papers for verification or falsification of the US's involvement in not allowing elections in Vietnam in 1954-55, since they knew that Ho would win in a landslide, and the outrageous partitioning of that sad, oppressed country. I will try to recall the source of the purging of Asian studies scholars from universities and the State Dept in the early 50s later on, but it certainly occurred and is well known by those who have studied what happened during the McCarthy era. For Central America, I would urge you to read anything by Walter LaFeber, who has written extensively about the US involvement in Central American countries like El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama. Nice to hear from you again, Sam P.S. Lawrence has had a change of personal situation, and most likely won't post on SI for awhile, in case you wonder why he doesn't respond to you. He may make an exception for this thread, but I doubt it.

Larry, You have called me all sorts of names at times and I have never called you anything but Larry. Please try to get along with people.
