>>I fully agreed with the US anti communist expansion in Vietnam<<

I did not, but I was young and ignorant. After the genocide in Cambodia, I finally understood the true essence of communism.

>>Who cares! You did it! Thank you!<<

For me, at the time, the day of days was the fall of the Berlin Wall.

More recently, on PBS's Commanding Heights, I learned a new day of days -- the day that the Russian government legalized private business. All of a sudden, no more shortages -- in just one day it all changed.

It took more than guns, tanks and bullets, it also took ideas -- good ideas, and people who were willing to stand up for them.
