Today is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre

Moon. I can see you already went back in a panic and have tried to change your post. Here is what you originally had ""Don't you have a Child Concern number to call ?". Now what do you mean by that?

It's here for the record:

I wonder why he changed it? Hmmmm.
 
It was a tragedy. Too bad the atrocities committed by the NVA and VC were never publicized. What they did was 1,000 X's worse. But that's war. No side is completely innocent.

Actually they *were* reported on as well. I vividly recall photos and descriptions of the tortures suffered by our captured troops, as well as what happened to villagers accused of sympathizing with the south and with the Americans. And of course, there is this world-famous photo.

I hold my country to a higher standard than communist rebels and fascist brown shirts.

I am pretty sure most educated people realize that communist insurgents throughout history have slaughtered civilians and committed heinous war crimes.

The Bolsheviks burned down the church in my grandfather's village.....with the priest locked inside it.

The fire bombing of German and Japanese cities by Allied air forces in WW2 cannot be justified ethically.

I believe most liberals would like to see international institutions that hold war criminals accountable beefed up, aka the War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, et al. International law can always be improved and beefed up to put potential war criminals on notice.

However, I have never noticed conservatives showing even a slight interest in international law, or working with the international community to beef up war crimes investigation tribunals. The fact that a lot of conservatives were cheering for water boarding and the torture of prisoners actually wreaked havoc on or credibility as a nation committed to justice and the rule of law.

^ Respect.

This ranks up there with the legend of all the multitudes of American soldiers being spit on by dirty hippies.

I am convinced there is a cottage industry devoted to perpetrating righting memes about the Vietnam war. All permutations focusing on how the liberal media lost the war, covered up for the commies, and kept us from staying in 'Nam, to fight on....to the final victory!
 
he went apeshit on the state AG that they dared indict a federal agent performing his duties, as if sniping an infant holding mother hiding behind a door is part of a federal agents duty. ruby ridge happened under Bush senior
Ruby Ridge was the site of an eleven-day siege near Naples, Idaho, U.S., beginning on August 21, 1992,

Damn, you're right. I always thought that was another Janet Reno Production.
 
do you know why the Spratlys are so important? Is it just territorial impingement by China, or does the Spratlys by themselves have some intrinsic worth ? *curious*
There has always been enmity towards the Chinese historically. The attempted takeover of the Spratlys is seen as a continuation of the bullying and colonising nature of the Chinese. Also there is oil, gas and fishing rights in play as well

Your needle is stuck, poser

But you're excused
It's an IQ thing

You are dancing around this question more than you do when asked what you actually do for the Palestinian plight other than cower a keyboard yapping about it. So, once again: "Don't you have a Child Concern number to call ?". Lets get back to your comment.
