And while I'm not going to try to defend Vietnam, which was mis-guided, massively mis-managed and completely mis-understood by almost everyone, have you ever wondered why it is that Taxi even has a 'Vietnamese neighbor?' Why so many of us have so many Vietnamese neighbors? Ask them some time.

It's because the North Vietnamese communists, who many in my generation hailed as 'freedom fighters', in the end turned out to the murderous thugs that almost every communist government turns out to be, and as a result a boatload (literally) of people in South Vietnam were willing to risk their lives and lose everything they had to get the hell out of there (and come here) once the communists took over. Double ditto for Cambodia.

I could almost deal with your incredibly simplistic world view, but the underlying ignorance you guys display makes it hopeless to even try to engage in a hostile dialogue.

Now look up who had to go invade cambodia and stop the Khmer Rouge.

The sole reason why there was a south/north vietnam, and north/south Korea is because the US prevented re-unification in both countries.

Ho Chi Minh was an american admirer and based his insurrection against the French colonialists on the american war of liberation against Britain.

Im tired but if you want ill look up the facts on why those are true and post them later on.
