Jumping forward 50 years I see the same mistakes made by other politicians, on both sides of the political divide. |
the much funnier part of vietnam's history is that it is precisely this "communist danger to the world" and the united states that are engaged in peaceful trade today. and that WITHOUT the united states exerting any pressure on it.
so there was no such thing as a monster for which so many americans had to give their lives to fight.
but let's have a look at the "won" wars like lybia, afganistan, iraq etc.... there is no trade - today there is only terror and blood.
america's strategy has failed all along the line and the only visible result is that no country in the world has more debts than the USA.
and now the usa is trying to fight this problem with the same mistakes as always. the CAN't go well
