Vietnam was a stunning defeat for U.S. imperialism; as such, it was also a victory for the cause of human self-determination.

Victory for self-determination? Would that be self-determination for the Catholics they spy on an throw in jail? Oh wait no, it's self determination for the Hmong tribesmen they massacre, right? Ahh, I get it, it's self-determination for the Chinese families who had all their possessions seized and got the crap beat out of them by Red mobs? Or is it just the self-determination of the individual, everyday Vietnamese who lives in fear of his own government?

Why liberals in academia so STUPID as to assume they know better the effects of foreign revolutions than those who are forced to live through them? The biggest defenders of Castro's Cuba, the Communist Vietnam, and Maoist China are all wealthy professors in Manhattan with no family links to those nations and no first-hand experience with what life is like in them.

If my kid scores 1600 on the SAT he can still forget about attending ANY of these America-hating Ivy League schools. I'm not going to let some chump making $60,000 a year to work 8 hours a week tell my kid his dad is a fascist because he has enough dough to send him to college.

In the West, they've been historically stupid. They supported Stalin, too.
