Any fool can kill unarmed civilians. No wonder they have a good success rate._____As for Vietnam, the reason it is not democratic is that the South Vietnam nationalists thought the Maoists from the North were their friends and the Americans were their enemies. Bad mistake.

Darwin said that those who change are the ones who evolve, and as you noted in your previous post, there are those that don't change, and guess what? They don't evolve, and in the end, don't survive. <BR/><BR/>Whatever theory of creation you embrace, from the Holy Bible, the Torah, or the Holy Qu'ran, or a secular theory, I think that Darwin's (who was a very devote Christian) notions of the fates of those who don't change, do not have the brains, will, power, or biological propensity are very valid in the political arena. Keep repeating the same mistake, and history will regulate you to the same shelf as the Etruscans and Picts. <BR/><BR/>Korea, Vietnam, Iraq. . .these repeated mistakes will sink us unless rectified. <BR/><BR/>Zappy, unfurl that flag.
