Well, of course. You want to keep the casualties down on your side. Wouldn't you, if you were a General or Lt?Originally Posted by IBrake4Rainbows

Hey, relax! I was just pointing out that if the U.S. could defeat Japan, it could certainly defeat Vietnam, especially with 20 years more technology.Originally Posted by IBrake4Rainbows

The U.S. sent troops to Vietnam because it signed the SEATO agreement. Would you like to know what that is?Originally Posted by IBrake4Rainbows

SEATO shmeeto
America's involvement in Vietnam began with a lie, and descended from there
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2261
The SEATO agreement (Southest Asia Treaty Organization), which the U.S. signed, said that the U.S. (and the other countries which also signed the treaty) would send troops to those country/countries which is threatened by communist takeover. It was signed on Sept. 8, 1954.

Blame the French. They're 'colonised' Vietnam. Bloody French.
Okay, we'll blame the French.Originally Posted by 2ndclasscitizen

I agree; another case of the US government having to cover the Frenchie's Asses.
20 Years More Technology did not lead to a victory, it lead to a Strategic withdrawal of troops, as the US puts it; or in plain language, a loss.
SEATO didn't seem to matter once the US pulled out of Vietnam, you guys certainly didn't help Cambodia during it's horrific Khmer Rouge Phase, but wait, they were communist!
Fancy that, another Unjust war based upon lies, with an ideal that was meant to be for the common good, but ended up as a shitefight? Never.

What relevance does this have to the USA's elected government, which tells the world it must have democracy, and has contorversially invaded countries to install democratic governments, now saying that the Palestines have the "wrong sort" of democracy?Originally Posted by Fleet 500
What are they intending - to force the Palestinians to keep having elections till they come up with a Pro-Jewish, Pro-American government before they give back aid to the people?
Democracy will not spread to the other Arab states whilst the USA gives the impression that anyone who doesn't elect a pro-US government will be punished.
Democracy in these countries would probably go a long way to curbing terrorism, (the democratic govts. of Afghanistan and Iraq are supposed to be doing this) which the USA supposedly wants to stop, so why they would want to disuade these people from having democracy is laughable.
It seems that the USA will only accept peace in the Middle East if Israel is the beneficiary, rather than the Palestinians.
Stop turning other people's threads into your own personal battle grounds - if you want a thread on Vietnam - start one yourself!
Thanks for all the fish

The "tapping" IS illegal but he is claiming special powers allowing him to ignore the law and the constitution
Define "battle" ?Originally Posted by Fleet 500
You're playgin a typcial word-game.
When is a police action a sckirmish or a smirmish an engagemetn or an engagement a battle or a battle a war ?
Playign with the semantics doesnt' make it a truth
BTW, go test your historical knowledge ... the US DID bomb part of the country "into oblivion" and 20 years later the underground tunnels and accomodation are STILL intact.

Just listened to an interview with a Repulican on the News about oil and his response was that he said ( sorry didnt' get his name ) that they would be putting forward for billions of dollars investment in developing refining fuel from shale oils. Seems like only one day after GWB says they have to stop their love affair that the oil industry has managed to convince massive investments to keep them highly profitable -- cynical --- moi ???? no
