I've been protesting our foreign policy since Nixon was in office, and that includes Obama's reign. The Demonrats and Rethuglicans are just left & right wings of the corporate War Party. DemLBJ's lies about the Tonkin Gulf began the huge buildup in Vietnam that led to the slaughter of 58,785 American troops and an estimated two MILLION SE Asians. It was a racist war, fought disproportionately by black inductees against yellow people who'd done us no harm. Ho Chi Minh was an open admirer of Thomas Jefferson, and Truman had promised self-determination for all people... except when they chose the wrong form of economy, and he decided France needed Vietnam's resources to rebuild after WW2. We decided Chile had made the wrong choice too, when it freely elected a socialist gov't, so we paid their military to assassinate Allende and set up a brutal dictatorship, as we had done elsewhere, e.g. Iran & Guatemala. The US is built on slavery and genocide, and eventually we'll reap what we've sown.
