A Superficial Peace Prize?

This is no "surprise" ! come one, reread Dreams From My Father, & note that he said stepdad Lolo was who he turned to for guidance & instruction & that that part of story was all about Lolo teaching him of Islam that incorporated ancient Hinuism & animism, & that in same part he talks about Lolo's first lesson being Hanuman (monkey god) worship. Now note monkey god idol in Obama's pocket in 2008 was the weapons carrying one (i.e., after he took form of Kala). This speech is classic Mahakala

I knew I would see the day that Fox News would praise Obama. There is no "left" in the US, it's all center-right. We just have PC mainstream liberals, which is like "conservative lite". The fact is the requirement of US bases to prop-up economic globalization.

60 years of keeping the world peace? Yeah, right... That war in Vietnam really proves it, eh?

[TheTipperaryMan]

The Vietnamese Communists supported by Communist China and Soviet Russia sought to invade South Vietnam and impose a communist dictatorship on the people of South Vietnam.

America fought the communist guerillas and the North Vietnamese army to a standstill.

After the US pulled out in 1973, the North Vietnamese invaded once again, this time succeeded. Millions of South Vietnamese were imprisoned by the communist regime and millions more fled and drowned at sea.

Today Vietnam is still unfree.

If the South Vietnam won the war, Vietnam would have been a brutal military dictatorship, so your point is moot.

Besides, Vietnam is just one of several wars which US initiated and fought in the last 60 years, and certainly it wasn't because it wanted to keep peace. US is a brutal imperialist regime that fights exclusively for its own economic dominance in the world.

TheTipperaryMan, you are forgetting that we had their leader assassinated and that is why they turned against us toward communist china.
