“I don’t think you know what a personal attack is. Clearly you don’t comprehend the meaning of a lie either.”

All I have to do is read your posts for examples ...

“Catholics in Vietnam had been oppressed for centuries before that.”

Perhaps the Buddhists didn’t like the Catholics bussing them?

I tell you what I’m gonna do for you, because I’m such a nice guy and I’m in a particularly good mood tonight. You show me specifically where I lied in any of my posts, and I will write an apology.

Did they have buses in Vietnam in the 18th century?

I apologize for not writing in a way that was more comprehensible to TexasGator. I should have included reference to the declarative sentences and inferences that were designed to illicit a reponse as to why TexasGator refuses to criticize the communists of Vietnam. I should have stated more clearly that not every single sentence I posted was in the form of a question.

Now are you willing to post a single derogatory comment about the communist government of Vietnam?

Oh, I comprehended your writing easily enough. Just as now you can’t come up with a simple apology but start it with a statement belittling me.

I’m sure you must have a good reason why this has been so difficult. Is it that hard to acknowledge that communists are bad?

There’s no need to be hostile. I am not being hostile. I am trying to understand you. If you are indeed a vet, I salute you. But that makes your initial attitude all the more puzzling. Why not just say “yes the north was worse but let’s not overlook Diem’s crimes” or something like that. Why the defensiveness?

Did Burns mention that this was Johnson’s war or that Kennedy had the President of South Vietnam assassinated?
