yeah, same thing could be said about Vietnam. You would have liked to see them protest their own people killing themselves. It didn't have anything to do with us being there...

You're right again H/R. The V/C killed more of their own people than we ever did. And that was after we left...

Naw, not just the VP. It's a little cabal of neocons. They all deserve to be sent to an "Axis of Evil" for proper sentencing. |
