I was hoping for a response from RR the most frequent poster on our net  
with me being 2nd but Alas and alack I frequently don't get one from him and  
others which I interpret to mean he and others don't have a viable  response?
 
Totally disagree with you on half truths, it was the Ho Chi Minh communist  
army that defeated
colonial France and no others, and it was our USA that  created the Gulf Of 
Tonken incident
which was Congress's excuse to declaire war without a shot  being fired and 
set up our own Captalist Democracy. Then and now Viet Nam is run  by 
communists and I see no stories in the media of their
citizens fleeing with stories of being persecuted or anyone showing  
dis-respect of them? Sorry Lee, you shouldn't sit at home and make up your own  
history.

Stan, you would have a good argument if you didnt  insist on inserting half 
truths (which are worse than lies).  The US  wasnt trying to impose 
anything on viet nam.  
What they were doing  was interfering with a civil war.  There was already 
a "capitalist  democracy" in place in south viet nam.  With our assistance 
it became  more
corrupt than it was and, again with our assistance, in failed.   Now they 
have a "capitalist democracy" of their own making.  I dont think  you could 
really call what
they have in that country communism.  It's  just adifferent sort of 
capitalism.  And, from what I understand, is no  less corrupt than our country.

You say you have an open mind and you know of no socialist country that  
has succeeded excluding China?
How about Viet Nam, isn't that a country run by communists? It was a  col
ony of Captalist France until
it won it's independence and then again when Captalist America  tried to 
impose a Captalist Democracy on it and failed and it  won the admiration of 
the world even by many here? Today we free trade  with it and it is even a 
tourist destination including soldiers who fought  against them. Remember the 
unkown Spanish author of the saying, 'A wise man  changes his mind often, a 
fool never'. You can call me the fool but  as wise men 
where do you stand?
