Bush presents case for staying in Vietnam

Or is he just lashing out at war critics again? Either way, he seems to think that we should still be in Vietnam decades later due the havoc that was wreaked after we left so gracefully in 1975. He mentions the "tens of thousands" of Vietnamese who perished in prison camps. He doesn't mention the *millions* of civilians who were killed during our 25 year stay. He does mention that millions were killed in Cambodia but we weren't supposed to be fighting a war there. Perhaps he wishes Nixon would have dropped a few more illegal bombs there and the whole thing could have been prevented anyway? Talk about rewriting history...

Big money - no whammies

Remember the stunning failure of Plan Colombia? Our expensive and completely disastrous effort to wipe out the cocaine (and FARC) menace once and for all. The result? Thousands of hectares of crops eliminated, scores of civilians killed by right-wing death squads, billions of dollars spent and still plenty of toot flowing into the states.

The next plan is Plan Mexico. Continuing the sociopathic trend of repeating failed endeavors and expecting different results, the USA will now begin funneling BILLIONS more into Mexico to eradicate this "cancer." It's ironic that they use the term cancer, since there is no cure for that either. Oh wait, there is a cure for the drug war - end it!
