Not only Vietnam (where Bill Gates is revered as a God) but China is doing okay without our help...and both trade with us freely. But both countries have much blood of their own people on their hands. And that blood was shed under the guise of non-capitalist communism. Gee, it's funny but both of the above named countries came around to capitalism. Indeed, the argument can be made that there is purer capitalism and less government interference in the business sector (I'm not, of course, talking about human rights) in China than in America. So maybe all the communism -- and al the murder, mayhem, death and suffering that that experiment entailed -- simply wasn't necessary? Or are you saying, Beruitu, that it was necessary to have the holocaust to get where we are today?
