I completely disagree. As the list that I reproduced here indicates, communism -- with or without blatant attempts by the U.S. to prevent its occurances -- created death and destruction wherever it reared its ugly head. Indeed, that was precisely the reason the U.S. went into SouthEast Asia in the first place: to prevent the spread of communism and the "Domino Effect". And that's exactly what happened when the U.S. pulled out. > Which may turn out to be the case we have created in Iraq, also.. Who knows? One thing we DO know is up to 2 million deaths occurred under Saddam's watch. And Saddam is no longer in power. > > > > > On Aug 14, 2005, at 11:03 AM, shempmcgurk wrote: > > > > > And the proof of this was that once the anti-war American left was > > > successful in getting the U.S. to pull out of Vietnam and enable a > > > communist victory, that's when the real suffering started.
