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.

Communism is a red herring. If it's not communism, it's Islamic
fundamentalists. It's always something, and the "something" usually means
"not like us". By the way, have you noticed that since we left, communism
has NOT spread to Indonesia, the Phillippines or Australia? Take Australia
off the list because applying the domino theory to that country was just
plain silly. What about the other two?
