Me too!It's kind of a piss off isn't it when these confirmed nut cases occasionally come out with something sensible!

Like RCS said.......his view reflects mine exactly.
The USA had no economic interests in Vietnam.
Vietnam was about supporting the French government initially, and then it was red-scare time politics. Initially, the US administration supported Ho Chi Minh. He could not believe it when they aided the French return.............it was simply that the USA valued France as an ally more than Vietnam.
Cl;iffy, you should refrain from commenting on things you know nothing about.
Colpy's amazing history knowledge! *fails to understand basics about the vietnam war*
Murica doesn't get into conflicts unless its in their own interests to do so. Their interests being securing the status quo for their rich owners.
They ruling class which owns Murica was afraid of communism because the rich pigs would have been lynched in the streets had communism take hold. So this led to an illegal invasion of Vietnam to shut down the voice of the working classes, the common man.

One of these days you will realize that nobody on any side of any conflict is speaking for the common man. Both sides say they are but both speak for different ruling classes (to use your terminology).
I also might add we seem to have drifted off topic. Cliffy, you should start a new Vietnam thread. I find the discussion (well most of it) very interesting.
That's not caveman mentality, it's evolved thinking. We're slowly realizing the status quo is horse****, capitalism is garbage.
LOL
Capitalism has made more people rich and free than any other economic system.
Communism has made more people poor, miserable, oppressed and dead than any other system.
Capitalism may have made some rich here, but it comes at the expense of billions of poor in third world countries. Just look at central America where once sustainable farmers made a living, they have been bankrupted by American owned United Fruit Co. Where once there was a diversity of crops, now there are mono crops and those former farmers are destitute. It is the same all over the world.
