Just caught a bit on Viet Nam on another thread, people talking about a foto of Jane Fonda sitting on 'a big gun' of the defense forces ... as if she had been important in that struggle - she wasn't, as i recall, nothing more than a footnote way down below the clear war crimes of those in control of 'her' nation Anyway, those were anti-aircraft guns, entirely defensive weapons, they threatened no US national who refrained from aggression ... any success enjoyed by them in the form of hits on bombers made a net reduction in the ability of the invader to murder the families and neighbours of the gunners What it is, this focus on Henry's daughter [that's pretty much all she is to canadians, btw], is a devious attempt to distract from the central fact that the US had absolutely no business making war on the indochinese, no right whatsoever to help the french re-colonise the peoples who had helped to defeat the japanese empire and who deserved recognition for their drive to independence ... Eisenhower had no right to suppress democracy in 1956 and then take over as the colonising force, his using the corrupt Diem points that up vividly .... US nationals today have every right to wake up to the fact that in suppressing the independence of peoples beyond their borders they violate the fundamental principles of all that great rhetoric of their mythic Cradle of Liberty Question for british columbians is - To what extent do these actions, and the ongoing attempt to justify them in the face of all logic to the contrary, demonstrate a basically rapacious trait in way too many US nationals in positions of control?

<<... until the US stops getting stuff virtually free as the rest of the world hands it a seigneurage advantage, no other nation's coin can possibly compete ... as long as the USD holds its bubble it acts as a giant hoover sucking up cheap goods and services, when the tide changes it will act as a giant hoover sucking up those widely distributed little bits of boringly all-green paper [many of which are actually counterfeit, which will be a fine joke on the holders] ...>> nicely written. But what will end the world's addiction to that ye olde "Yankee Dollar". It, the USD, seems to be taking on fantasy deification; the sight of it to a foreigner and that greenback glitters like Gold.
