I know what happened that caused the end of the Vietnam war...as you do...and I think I may have even posted here at some point, that I would do anything in my power not to let that happen again.

I have no idea how much the Salon story is right or not...but, I say the whole situation is rotten.
FGS....the TERRORISTS know our history better than some of our Congresscritters!!! They KNOW what will get Washington all shaking in their plush offices...
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr
