I remember now, that march was the April 15 Moratorium.

Good morning.
"I can remember the summer of 69 pretty good..."

Me, too. There is nothing like hunting Communists in the Iron Triangle and out in the Pineapple to make a summer memorable.

Good morning.
"It's saved Western lives."

Hell, it's saved Iraqi lives, if the mass graves are any indication of what was happening before we got there.

You don't want more Iraqis to die? Iran is backing the Shiites in order to take over Iraq. Saudi Arabia has no intention of letting that happen. If we were to pull out SA and Iran would go to war over Iraq involving the entire region. Millions would die. And all the oil fields of Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and probably the few remaining oil states of the ME would go up in flames.

Forget about $4 pg gas or $6 pg gas, we would have no gasoline at any price. Americans would start dying, Europeans would start dying, Russians would start dying and I'm not talking about the inevitable armed conflicts that would result between Russia, the West and probably China and India over the remaining available oil market. People would die from the worldwide economic collapse.

You don't want other people to live in peace you want to live in peace and not think about Saddam murdering hundreds of thousands of his own little brown people. You don't want to think about 800,000 Rwandans dying by machetes because the UN helped disarm them. You don't even care that Ahmadinejad would nuke Isreal without a second thought. You could care less that the U.S. won militarily in Vietnam and pulled out because of ignorant liars like you leaving millions of Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians to be killed by dictators, thugs and madmen.

Liberals prefer to stand back and watch millions slaughtered (Cambodia, post U.S. Vietnam, Laos, Rwanda, on and on and on...) than to take responsibility for anything. Liberal compassion is rooted in ignorance and is nothing more than a warm fuzzy feeling of self-congratulatory hypocrisy. It is a major cause of suffering not a solution to it.

I am a 52 year old American hippie with hair past my belt and the 2nd Amendment engraved on my liver. You are nothing but an unAmerican unpatriotic self-serving useful idiot for the international Marxist communists who intend to enslave us all by destroying the individualism of republicanized government and replacing it with the collectivism of state-served communism.

Let me refer you to a previous castigation of your kind of intellectually vacuous moral relativism.

What's more you only represent about 15% of the left. The left is only half the electorate and the electorate is only half of the population. The only reason people like you seem like half the population is because the media likes freak shows.

But we're all doing it because we don't want people to die. Ever.

Grow up, a-hole. No body is that stupid.

Watch for these locked in time hippies to show up at the Democrat's 2008 convention to relive the good times of Chicago 1968.

The only good thing to come out of the Sixties

Ayn Rand wrote an essay contrasting the depravity of WoodStock and the Glory of Apollo. Both happened in the summer of '69.

The great shame of our nation is that the children of "Hate-Ass-Bury" snatched victory from your hands and turned it into defeat.

Most people back then were into it for the music & fun (of which sex & drugs were a big part, granted). The lefties were a sideshow. Unfortunately, they have been hyped over the years to be what the 60's were "all about". Most people grew up to become yuppies, suburbanites, etc.

Cambodia 1975-79. Communist Cambodians killed 1,700,000 fellow Cambodians.

This is from the excellent post #40. This is what happened when your kind "ended" the Vietnam War. This - and more - is what will happen if your kind drives us out of Iraq. And you "don't want anyone to die - ever"? Touchy-feely arms-are-for-hugging peace-and-love feeling is nice; thinking is better. Try it sometime.
