I know the story. And I've already conceded that the U.S. has done wrong. But like I said, it's not like America is this unique power of evil on Earth. Humanity has a dark side. Accept it. Have you heard the story of the Soviets suppressing freedom in Hungary? What about Afghanistan? The Chinese in Tebet? The Japanese in the pacific? The fact that India and Pakistan had to split? Also, when did I ever once mention anything about hating muslims? Way to jump to conclusions.

[goooooooooooooz]

@YorktownUSA

listen, I'm iranian, but not a muslim. I have seen an extremist regime full of thugs backed by oil money do whatever the fuck they want in Iran. I have also heard from my father the crimes of the shah who was backed by your country. From my grandfather I heard the stories about the brits and Americans who started the coup in 54 that destroyed Iran's short lived democracy.

Your attitude is no different than the Islamic thugs that you hate. you're the naive one.

[YorktownUSA]

@goooooooooooooz So naive. Niether of us are fascist. And I'm right the world is not ready, because humanity is not ready. The U.S. and Europe just happened to be the powers that found themselves in a position to carry out such acts. Did you know while whites were enslaving africans so were the muslims. And so were the Africans themselves. I will blame the planet because the fault is humanities, including the totalitarian communists. If the US and EU weren't there, it would be someone else.

[goooooooooooooz]

@YorktownUSA

he's a fascist, and so are you. People like you are no different than the Islamic terrorists you guys hate so much. The difference between them and you is that you kill more people. So you can tell me that the "world is not ready," but I will tell you that you and the extremist muslims aren't ready.

btw, it was Europe that tried to colonize the ME 300 years ago. It's the US that wants to police the world. Don't blame the planet when the fault stands with you

[YorktownUSA]

@goooooooooooooz And your an idiot. If you think America's government is the biggest dictatorship in the developed world, you clearly don't understand American politics, the bi party system, or the U.S. constitution. Also you calling Patrick a fascist is completely unfair, you don't even know him. And while I won't call you a hippie like he did, I would ask you to keep in mind that "peace lovers" who think we should all just get along are kidding themselves. The world is not yet ready.

[PatrickEngSU]

@goooooooooooooz Me American?? Expat actually. And I have 4 more degrees than you and ten years more education. Brainwashed people see issues in black and white; stating america is a dictorship that makes excuses to justify killing x people is about as black and white as a statement can get. Foreign affairs like vietnam aren't as simple your comments. Perhaps America was trying to do for the vietnamese what it did for western europe. Do research and think before you comment & I won't isult you

[goooooooooooooz]

Why are you making it so black and white? What's with all the labeling shit? Hippie? I'm not even American so don't drag me into your bs. When it comes to dictatorships, your country is the biggest dictatorship in the developed world (your bi party system is a joke).

You Americans always try to make excuses about why killing X amount of people was the right move. This is despicable. And I am at school; will go to law school in 2 years actually.

You're a fascist.

[PatrickEngSU]

@goooooooooooooz South vietnam. After the war many southern citizens were killed. They were people whoe did not want to be ruled by a dictor; people who didn't want to starve working on collective farms. It's you peace hippies that have no brain: any critical analysis of the war is wrong to you- furthermore, like McCarthy, you accuse anyone who disagrees with being brainwashed. You are an ignorant, short sighted, brainwashed moron incapable of critical thought. Stop posting and go back to school

[goooooooooooooz]

@LampPlaceThing

idiot, who the fuck were you helping exactly?

brainwashed fool

[LampPlaceThing]

Peace absolutist, irritate me. Such extremes on the Left and right. American didn't want to imediatly abandon south vietnam, as it would be much blood shed that could have been prevented, and much distaste for America in that region of the world.

Kiddies, listen: you can't just run from the people you were helping... you have to do it in due process... and then walk out.
