Yeah, well guess who gave him refuge when he was about to be deposed and brought to trial in Iran?
Big deal.
We put Diem in power you stupid bastard. This in a country that in an election Minh was going to win popular vote with as much as 80% of the vote. Diem was so bad, that his own people took him out.
No kidding, but as the video mentioned, we supported a coup against him and it was a good decision. Haven’t you seen film reels of Buddhist Monks lighting them selves on fire?
Also, keep in mind that the Soviets were just as treacherous as the US was.
They (Russia) supported the Vietnamese's right to self determination. The Vietnamese were fighting for their independence from imperialism. The U$ was involved in Vietnam completely for self interest.
No they supported Vietnam because it was in their best interests. Drop your naive attitude. This world is ran by self interest.
We involved ourselves in Afghanistan for one reason only...to fuck the Russians. We supported the Taliban remember? We funded Osama to fight the Russians, only it backfired on us didn't it?
No not really. We didn’t tell Osama to hate us. And at the time we were buddies.
Those same hostages played a big role in the illegal and immoral Iran/Contra scandal didn't they?
Yeah, and Regan should have been impeached for this. But remember also that those crazy ass Islamic fundamentalists were chanting "death to America". Oh and btw, we weren’t the only side to support both sides of the war, the Sovs did the exact same thing as did Brazil and Europe.
What about drug trafficking? I guess it's okay when the CIA does it right? The Canal zone was by TREATY, scheduled to go back to Panamanian ownership (as it is today). Fuck, how many times do I have to tell you that? The operation to remove the lackey Noriega resulted in over 3000 civilian deaths, as well as the bombing and destruction of civilian residences.
Drug trafficking? Those are some rumors started by a burnt out hippy. I think American intell has better things to do.
Lets see the sequence of events here
1) Noriega declares war on the US.
Ok, now they made the first move, so we were right. And as any nation would we protected our interests. And we owned the Canal at the time so it was our right to protect it. Are you willing to claim that if the Soviets were faced with a similar situation they would just let it go? I am sure the Czech people would disagree with you.
Stop getting your fucking news from Fox. 500,000 children (at least) died from cholera and dysentary because the U$ and allied forces continued to bomb fresh water pumping and purification plants. The children were swimming and drinking the water in the Tigres because it was the only fresh water available to them. Baghdad's sewerage emptied directly into the Tigres, hence the dysentary and cholera. Regarding palaces, what do you consider the White House, Camp David etc.? How many starving children in the U$ could be fed with the money used to support and protect these "palaces"?
Wrong, we didn’t bomb water sources, Saddam was afraid of this that is why he didn’t use chemical weapons during the 1st Gulf war. And aside from that bombing water sources is a warcirme. As I said, there is oil for food, he rather buy him self luxuries than use his profits to help his people. And remember the sanctions were authorized by the UN.
How is it different? It's guerilla warfare. They obviously didn't have the numbers or weaponry to attack the U$ head on. Guerilla training teaches a combatant to use whatever means they have at their disposal. The CIA's done far worse.
Because, it is not every day people think, "lets highjack a plane with allot of jet fuel and crash it into the WTC''. Was Osama's militia using those tactics against the Soviets? No. They fought with bullets in caves while Soviets used poison gas (a warcrime btw) to kill them.
Everything the Sovs did in Afghanistan we did in Nam.
With regards to your question about "how do you communists feel about guns?"....hopefully someday soon....you'll find out with a loud crack and a flash of bright light and then eternal darkness. ;)
Well I can tell you this. You will di g your grave then my fireing squad will handle it from there. :D
