I guess to some $30,000 seems a sim. But it kinda makes you wonder
about
the connection between Bush's open door illegal worker policy and

die...no
decent jobs around here anyway, eh?

Harry, in your review of articles to cut'n'paste this morning, how
did you miss
this:


He missed this one too

ROFL!!! How deep was your head up your ass between 1970 and 1975???

Not as deep as yours!



So, you are pretending to forget about the "secret" bombing of
Cambodia, and (SEPARATE ISSUE) the bombing of Hanoi which Air Force
generals told Nixon was not effective in any way after a certain
point.

Grow up and read some history. Hopefully, you will read more than the
history of the last 40 years.



Let's put it this way: Legislators on both sides of the aisle were
extremely concerned about Nixon's behavior in Cambodia. And, don't spew
any nonsense about how the bombing, if continued, would've prevented the
later genocide.

Why is it nonsense. My father told me that Tet '68 was hell but that we
were beating the little ****ers now that they had come out into the open.
And, that if we had been allowed to chase them down and kill them the war
would have been over in a year or two. Instead the people of this country
were swayed by the almighty media and we went back into garrison and
started fighting a defensive war.


The Vietnamese had been tossing visitors out of their country for 200+
years before we decided to stop by and help. They would never have
surrendered. And please - don't spew any bull**** about "we shoulda nuked
'em".

Back off on the nuclear thing Doug, nobody is suggesting we nuke anybody
yet.

While we're on this subject, tell us in your own words how the Vietnamese
threatened us before we got there. And, be sure to tell us why you believe
the domino theory was valid.

Uncle Ho wanted his country free from foreign occupation and influence.
Uncle Ho was a nationalist. But, he was a realist too and he figured it
would be better to team up with his own countrymen, the Communists, to throw
out the French and then the US using the help of their Soviet benefactors.
We should have backed Uncle Ho before the French got their asses handed to
them in Vietnam.

The domino theory was a threat and we countered it wherever and whenever we
could. Communism was and is a plague on this earth and we needed to defeat
the Soviets to thwart their expansionism all over the world. Even the
ChiCom's know that Communism is a failure but, it is the only way that the
communist aristocracy can keep control of the flow of money and ideas. The
capitalism iin China is booming but, it has the ever present eye of the
state making sure that it doesn't prosper too much without thier taking
credit. The ChiCom's will one day be overthrown and then China will be the
biggest kid on the block.
