Saigon 1975. I left 13 days before Saigon fell on the last non-military jet to 
leave. I was a teenager 


I had oppose the Vietnam War and thought it idiotic since about 1965, through 
pure luck I managed to avoid the draft and I would have never dreamed of 
volunteering. For years because of the war I said that Lyndon Johnson was the 
worst president in my lifetime, but now I think George W Bush has beaten him 
out. I also opposed the Iraq war.   

I was a kid and did not ask to witness that war either, but life had other 
plans for me, and I lived through a piece of history.

Perhaps if you stopped reading talking points from a Faux News script you might 
begin to make a little sense.

 

I hate Fox news and always have, their imbecilic Tea Party buddies too. I'm 
more of a MSNBC - New York Times sort of guy.

 

Okay, but you sound that way when you go all reflexive and attribute all the 
violence in the Middle east and that spills over here to “them” having been 
offended by some cartoon, when the problems and issues run much deeper than 
that.

Your father was a diplomat?! Wow, I never would have guessed that, obviously 
you didn't inherit the diplomatic gene; it's not just me, you can't seem to get 
along with anybody around here.  

 

I get along just fine with most people… it is mainly just you and Mitch (aka 
spudboy) who is in a category all by himself. I think you are over generalizing 
things a little. But yeah I never aspired to be a “diplomat”… after all I grew 
up witnessing the reality of how the game is played. My father was the kind of 
diplomat by the way, who was debriefed, at the end of his career, for six 
months in Langley Virginia (there is US agency that is headquartered there). We 
were put up in an old Virginia farm house that had been owned by the first 
president George Washington. That should give you a clue who he worked for and 
what he did and how much dirt he knew. He ended his career in Honduras in the 
1980s, during the time Ambassador Negroponte was there, for anyone who is aware 
of the actual history being written there during that period that should tell 
you everything you need to know.

 

> You may not like me,

 

Well..., it doesn't exactly cement the  bonds of friendship to express the wish 
that I get Alzheimer's disease and that  "only then after your brain has fully 
and completely rotted into a plaque ridden mush does nature finally do the 
kindness of killing you off". It just doesn't seem very friendly to say that 
"an amusing thought" would be me  "growing into a vegetative Alzheimer riddled 
sponge" and that "the thought still cracks me up with laughter"

It does not help when you call me dumber than dog shit either John… please 
don’t make it out as if this has been a one sided stream of abuse. You have 
dished your fair share out at me whenever we disagree. Look I apologize about 
that remark to you – it was pointedly mean and carefully aimed at you, I do not 
actually wish that for you and even though I find you incredibly abrasive I can 
also see that you are an intelligent person. If you can accept my apology and 
move on from that. 

Perhaps you could also apologize for all the insulting words you hurled at me 
and were hurling at me before, during and after I said those mean things about 
you?
