Occupying Vietnam was a good idea. Our war efforts were crippled by the cowardly politicians and subversives at home, just as the same disgusting classes-- and in many cases the same disgusting people-- are trying to cripple our war efforts today. Withdrawing from Vietnam was a terrible blow both to American credibility and to the Vietnamese people themselves.

How was occupying Vietnam a good idea?

And yet it is still better than tolerating regimes which are hostile to our interests. What about being hostile to other regimes? There is a concept as live and let live, right?

It is characteristic of how the Taliban regime treats women. It is no worse than the acid attacks that occur frequently if Afhganistan, frequently with less or even no provocation. True, but things don't happen in a vacuum. What of our depleted uranium rounds that are making Iraqis and Aghanis (as well as our own service-people) ill?

The difference is that when we do it, it is a crime and it is treated as a crime. When they do it, it is policy and they are praised. The victims couldn't care less if it's a crime or if it's policy.
