    You folks are less than half the people, or don't you know?

    Come on Buffy,Vietnam has/had no oil...

    Had we stayed, more US soldiers would have died. But I am with you, let's attack North Korea, I am right BEHIND you!!!!!

    P.S.: Since when do we care about Cambodia? Last time I checked we were illegally bombing them....

    Funny how the left claims to be for 'peace' and against the deaths of civilians (how many lefties here cry about the civilian deaths of Iraqis?) yet as long as its not Americans dying they really dont care (Case in point Cambodia and Rwanda where democrats in power did nothing to stop the wholesale slaughter of civilians).

    Actually we were 'illegally' bombing the North Vietnamese who had 'illegally' invaded Cambodia so that they could further support their 'illegal' invasion of the South (which of course was 'illegally' supported, funded, and supplied by the Chinese and Russians). Hey no worries though, we left, Pol Pot came to power, and 2,000,000+ Cambodians were systematically starved to death (but shame on us for bombing the North Vietnamese!).

    You seem very like most radical Muslims, Sam .....you hold the descendants of people that you consider responsible for past historical errors or mistakes. Forgiveness is not in the Muslim belief, is it? Vengence is mine, sayeth Samcdkey!

    In this case history shows a structural consistency in foreign policy. Do I need to explain what that means?

    We learn from history that we do not learn from history.

    "Vengence is mine, sayeth Samcdkey!" And, of course, the same for most radical Muslims in the world.

    Baron Max, you know Baron, I don't think that I have met a Moslem that can't rant in detail all the supposed wrong done to them and their religion from day one, and how they need to get even with the people who have done them wrong, even when the people in question were only defending themselves from Islamic aggression, and weren't even alive at the time that the supposed offence took place.

    It means that attrocities, immoral acts, undemocratic behaviour or whatever you want to label it, due to the foreign policy of the USA is not caused by a few incidents. It is the foundation of US Foreign policy.

    You want me to explain what that means?

    Yes, I would like you to explain. And please don't include things that PRIVATE COMPANIES and PRIVATE CORPORATIONS might have done.

    I'd also like to see an outline of the actual "policy" of which you speak ...ie., the laws or rules or whatever that's been approved by congress. I continually see the term "US foreign policy", yet I know of no such policy. Would you be so kind as to provide that particular document(s)?

    All of the US? Or just part of it? Or all the people of the US? Or just some of the people? OR just the elected government? Or all US politicians? Or just the republicans?

    When you say, "The US is evil", what exactly do you mean? Does that include your hero Osama Baraka??

    Yes, we should have intervened in Cambodia. By the way, remind me, why we aren't going into North Korea, where the situation is pretty much the same???

    You should stick to your crazy drinking, because logic isn't your strength. Let's say we stay. There are 2 possibilities:

    1. Eventually we win, but obviously we would have lost way more soldiers, or if we try something funky, like nukes, then the Vietnamese casualties would have been the same, just the RIGHT people would have died.

    2. We lose again, just later. Of course we lose more soldiers, and there is a possibility that 2 million Cambodians STILL die. So what did we win by staying longer? (beside warprofiters making more profits?)

    You see, you simply can't argue by quoting those death numbers occuring after we left.

    For extra credit: Why should just 1 American soldier die for another country's freedom???

    As the Reps like to say: Freedom isn't free. They have to work for it themselves....

    P.S.: That's why I am here to make a logical argument for Reps, because you guys couldn't even win an argument against yourself...
