We overthrew Saddam to remove a dangerous regime. After that, letting the Iraqis establish a democratic regime is consistent with our values, not to mention the UNSC resolution. Maybe not your values - you would prefer Saddam or anyone who hated America.

They got the other half back from us. Now they have it all -- their own country. A country called Vietnam where Vietnamese people live.

Are you humming an inspirational theme? Maybe the Internationale?

A place where we give them all the respect and recognition we give to other countries.

C'est la lutte finale
Groupons-nous et demain
L'Internationale
Sera le genre humain.

Oh wait, knowing you you're probably singing the Chinese version:

Qilái, jihánjiaopò de núlì,
Qilái, quánshìjiè shòuku de rén!
Manqiang de rèxuè yijing fèiténg,
Yào wèi zhenli ér dòuzheng!
Jiù shìjiè da gè luòhualiúshui,
Núlìmen, qilái!, qilái!
Bú yào shuo women yìwúsuoyou,
Women yào zuò tianxià de zhurén.
|: Zhè shì zuìhòu de dòuzheng,
Tuánjié qilái, dào míngtian,
Yingtènàxióngnài'er
Jiù yídìng yào shíxiàn. :|

I don't think that makes them 'inhuman', using your words. I think it makes them Vietnamese.

You know I used inhuman to describe the communist system which oppresses them.
