Are The Commies really in Latin America? No, they fell from power like most Marxist dictatorships as the West won the Cold War. Only a few left. Hope that doesn't disappoint you too much. Please tell me all about Commandante Daniel Ortega and the Roman Catholic Church in El Salvador! What does that have to do with Cambodia and Laos, which you claim were never communist? The blatant real contradiction is this. When the "war" is mentioned, there is no mention of the real economic costs in that context. In the other context, when the US economy is mentioned, there is no reference to the economic costs of wars and occupations of foreign nations. As long as Americans can shift context from war to economics and back again, with neither context having any connection to the other, there are no problems. But bring these items into one integrated context, even for a moment, and the whole "message" crashes. Uh, yeah, whatever. Are you of the opinion that quantity counts more than coherence in argument?
