Isn't it funny how the protestors and anti-american whiners now and then could not care LESS about the millions of South Vietnamese they condemned to death and torture? And they say Republicans are heartless?

Well, you generally get a number of evasions from leftists in excusing leftist democide;

1) The numbers are inflated. It doesn't matter who generates the numbers - they are automatically inflated if the indict the leftist tyrant hero of the month. I've had leftists claim Amnesty is biased, for example, in what thye had to say prior to the war.

2) The people killed were really enemies of the state, guilty, former oppressors, etc.

3) It is all America's fault. Khmer Rouge's communist democide? Americas fault for bombing VC insurgents. Stalin's purges? The western democracies made the USSR feel threatened.

It all boils down, though, to the leftist notion that the ends justify the means - or as one famous leftist said "you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet".
