What about Vietnam? They said that America would disappear if Vietnam was not dealt with but we are still here. In fact, America is going to be doing big business with Vietnam very soon if not already. Ships go there and nothing happened after the troops were pulled out. They had a quick squirmish with Cambodia that lasted a time and now there is peace within that region. I am not for pulling out troops, but lets not use crazy scenarios of what could happen. If we pull out, there might be some problems for Iraq for a bit and then the country will be come exactly like Vietnam and is that a bad thing really?
If you weren't one of the twenty million Vietnamese boat people, post-war Vietnam was just dandy.
If by nothing you over look the genocide of over 1 million people, millions of boat people losing their lives at sea to flee the country, and living under communism for the next 30 plus years.... yeah, I guess nothing happened.
So basically what you are saying is that Pol Pot was really not that bad?

You're joking, right? In 1975, the total population of N + S Vietnam was about 60 million. The victorious, glamorous, all-caring Socialist government (commie bastidges) proceeded to kill 3 million of those and put vast numbers beyond that into re-education camps (Thank you U.S. congressional Democrats for withdrawing funding).
I've spent a lot of time in VN and will attest that all of this is true. You clearly haven't been in a communist country. Virtually everyone (about 98%)in VN wants to get out because living in a Communist country and being ruled by Communists is a living hell. The only ones who don't want to get out are, guess who, the Commies who are sucking the blood out of the 98%.
Don't believe it Naps? Go there and spend a month in Hanoi. You'll know, propaganda speakers on most corners, mounted on 14 foot high poles, government issue news assaulting the populace. Sounds like the DNC, doesn't it? My guess is YOU'd think it was a pretty good place.
