Did Nixon start our involvement in this war or was it Kennedy? I am not a war monger but my attitude towards war is go all out if you are in one. (See what happens ala the Gulf War when you quit too soon.) Nixon'sonly mistake in accelerating the war was to not untie the hand from behind our back so that we could win it and get out. Nixon INHERITED Viet Nam he was not responsible for it he got our troops out eventually. To even think about putting these murderers on the same plane as him is laughable. You should be ashamed. If this is your normal process of thought I now understand why you are never at all critical of RMIL management. You want the truth?, you cant handle the truth.

[Off topic] - Sorry, like it or not, I believe the offensive(police action?) was authorized by the congress, therefore by the US public. Nixon didn't start the war, and I think(IMO) there are some serious flaws in the logic that it was a war of racism. True, a difference in race makes it easier to dehumanize the enemy, a very important point when getting support or convincing people to kill other people, but not sure we were there for racism's sake. I believe that many thought we were there to prevent the spread of communism. I thought the South actually asked(not sure about that). Been a long time since I read books on it, will have to pick some up again.

Pugs.. the criteria for the gas chamber was far more than merely being a Jew. It covered being a Gypsy, homosexual, a Slav, a Catholic, mentally retarded, physically disabled.... and I'm sure a few others that I can't remember off hand. 13 million people died by the hand of Nazi Germany in the holocaust. The 6 million Jews were merely the most prominent group. Btw, 20 million+ (some say more) died during the period of Stalin's great purges. Hundreds of thousands died during La Violencia in Colombia. We killed approx 100,000 Iraqi soldiers during Persian Excursion I (round II gearing up as we speak) 4O million Russian civilians and soldiers died in WWII. The British bombed Dresden, killing some 400,000 people in a single firebombing.. The United States killed 150,000 Japanese in two Atomic Bombings as well as some 400,000 more during the incendiary raids over Tokyo... My point?? People are born and people die. Most die for fancy waving banners and ideological ideals (some worth dying for). Death is a common reality everyday of our lives. It is the "reality" that keeps stomping on the Utopian face of your idealistic society. All you can do is make sure that you are not part of the causality, but are part of the cure. I wish you luck. However, even more I wish you a portion of common sense to go with it. Regards, Ron
