Instead, due to a simplistic foreign policy I've been annoyed by your constant use of the expression, "Jesus weeps!" (actually, not being brought up in the fundamentalist part of the South, I am not 100% sure what it means) but I think this is a good time for it. Carl, when the communists took over in North VietNam, they did what communists did everywhere when they took over. They killed tens of thousands, they imprisoned hundreds of thousands, they established a totalitarian regime. That's why we didn't play footsie with dear old Uncle Ho. He was a murderer. Oh, I know, they all are, but he wasn't our kind of murderer. We were the good guys. We had zero to gain from that war, just as we had zero to gain from Korea. No oil, no gold, no power, no glory, no domination. Just doing the right thing, or trying to. Ach. You were just a kid, I guess. There are people on this thread who were there.
