People running down the road skin on fire ? The Americans would never do something like that:

This is such a horrible image , no wonder Amerika was sent home with it's tail between it's legs after this absolute failure, looks like Iraq is heading the same way.

Wonder what American was trying to control in Vietnam , was it really the heroin trade for the CIA ?

They sure as hell did not have any oil for Haliburton and Chevron.
Why America was in Vietnam is very debatable. I know some veterans of VN and I respect them, highly.

But we need to look at the government and military-industrial complex and economic interests.

Domino Theory?

There wasn't enough of a base to even have a "domino Theory."

Just look at Indo/Sukarto in '65 and Malaya in '55.

Ignorance + Arrogance + selfishness = terrorism.


Don't tell that to some of the former robots on this forum, though. Especially ex jugheads.
