Now I have to wonder what planet this guy lives on. To say there was not a massive bloodbath could be technically correct. Although, I am not sure those who were killed would see it that way. One web site states, "research show an extremely strong probability that at least 65,000 Vietnamese perished as victims of political executions in the eight years after Saigon fell."
Another site recognizes that Cambodia suffered tremendously at the hands of Pol Pot. Yet this site's thinking must be where Kerry aligns himself. For the site blames America's bombing of Cambodia that is at fault. It states,
"Yes, Cambodia did turn into a death camp, but it is clear that it wasn't the American troops leaving Vietnam that caused that horrific crisis. It was the bombing of Cambodia during the war that created the vacuum that allowed Pol Pot to come to power."
So it is America's fault. If we just hadn't been there in the first place, the world would have been hunky dory. Why is it the Left can't see that if they had not caused America to lose a War we had won, maybe, just maybe, the vacuum would not have existed? I guess the conclusion is that if we pull out of Iraq, no problem. Does anyone remember Bush Sr.'s massive failure to truly win the Gulf War in 91'? He pulled out and guess what happened?
Kerry then goes on to assert that there were re-education camps. Nobody likes those kinds of things. But hey! (There were only 65,000 killed.) He knows a lot of Vietnamese that are doing just fine and even thriving. So let's just re-institute those camps. Surely we conservatives could use a little re-education...right?

Maybe fascists could find some re-education in Gitmo or Bagram or Cropper, or any other place (secret sites) where we have been torturing people. This idea that we liberate people and don't murder millions, well... Those in glass houses...
Sorry, but the Gitmo thing doesn't work with me. By the way, we are at war, just so you know.
If you don't think Iraq has been liberated, perhaps you ought to have been forced to live there while Saddam reigned. Then again, the enemy believes Iraq is the major front in this war, but you probably don't believe there is a war.
By the way, we are at war. Did I mention we are at war?
People like yourself have an odd view of mankind and those on the Left hate the American way of life. Freedom isn't something worth fighting or dying for. Instead, you cheer for the Fidel Castros of the world.
I truly wish people such as yourself would immigrate to China. Go experience that sense of communism you truly long for. Instead you stay here and put down America. If you think it so bad, go live somewhere else.
BTW: if Cuba and the former USSR and Iraq and Iran and China and Vietnam and........are such great places, why are they ALL coming here? If America is such a terrorist nation and such wicked thugs, why are they coming here?
The only glass houses are in the minds of Leftists who feel guilty for living in such a great nation while other nations suffer. Instead of spreading around freedom, Leftists wish to do the easy thing, bring down America to be as bad and poor as everyone else. Take your self-loathing elsewhere.
