side.

If we'd only listened to you guys, we wouldn't be speaking Russian

today.

Who are "you guys"? Wasn't it the Democrats who got us into Vietnam?


Yeah, Democrats were in power at the time, but I don't recall conservatives
objecting to the war. Do you remember any?

And it's ironic that it's the conservatives today who blame the liberals for
losing the war. The conservatives are ****ed off we lost, but they usually
turn silent when someone asks what it was they thought they would have won.

And do the anti-war folks take any credit for the Millions of people
killed in Vietnam and Cambodia after we left?


About the same as the credit the conservatives take for the 3-1/2 million
who got killed because we were there.
