'This crisis calls for the quiet resolve that comes from being stronger and smarter than your enemy, not for the antics of a schoolyard bully'

Certainly. But just try telling that to an American, especially an American who has no sense of the disaster that was Vietnam. Many in America today are heavily involved in some serious 'revisionist history', with the claim now being made that 'the US won in Vietnam', if you can believe anyone could be that stupid, but they are, and there is not enough time to challenge each and every one of them on it, though I do try, everyday.

They just don't seem to realize that we are living in a very different world today that that which existed in 1945. If they were smart, they would stick to their knitting, rebuild their country, seek peace everywhere, and honest, fair trade. As Mahatma Ghandi said: 'There is sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed'.
