This link springs to mind... archives.obs-us.com Just been reading this too "Liberal lunacy" On the other hand, the State Department publication asserted that "any organization, however patriotic in intention, that undertakes to boycott, blacklist, or otherwise penalize or attack any American business for engaging in peaceful trade with Eastern European countries or the Soviet Union, is acting against the interests of the United States." That was August 1966. A few months later, it was announced that our government had agreed to relieve communist Poland of the need to repay about $17 million in debt owed to the United States. That very day (April 12, 1967), a Polish merchant ship was spotted in Haiphong Harbor unloading supplies for an enemy busily engaged in killing and maiming Americans. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of similar incidents that combine to reveal a willful U,S. policy of dragging out the war, making it as destructive as possible (especially for American society), then letting the communists have what they wanted in the first place jbs.org OK even with a Republican administration at the helm. Wars are real messy. Are you going to suggest to me this problem could not happen again unless we really know what we are doing? Policy wise I'd say the guys who have been at the thin edge of the wedge need careful listening too. Lets face it. The USA sent loads of arms and materials to Iraq and even OBL. Supposedly in defense of the USA. Who knows where we go from here.
