QUOTE(not_for_anything @ Jun 14 2005, 4:02 PM) If you're asking about Vietnam, it's because of the Red scare and the fear that communism might fall into the domino effect in Asia. The south appreciated American interference by the way. They never complained until US troops pulled out so suddenly. If you're asking about just any invasion, you might have a better chance of getting a good answer by asking a simple question with not so simple an of answer: "why war?". QUOTE(nightmare4taki @ Jun 14 2005, 1:55 PM) Although Americans may feel as though a democracy is the best form of government, that may not be necessarily how every person feels. Really and truly although a war may be just in some peoples eyes it may not always go as expected just like in the case with Vietnam, your just fighting a hopeless battle. Democracy is the best form of government according to Vietnamese Nationalist... That's why they fought against the spread of Communism. What are you trying to say exactly? |

The only reason I would approve of a country going to war these days is if another world war is about to break out. QUOTE(uninspiredfae @ Jun 14 2005, 3:38 PM) Democracy is the best form of government according to Vietnamese Nationalist... That's why they fought against the spread of Communism. What are you trying to say exactly? Im going to separate these statements in my quote from earlier today. I never said anything about a Communism or any other form of government being better then a Democracy. I was speaking in terms of the people Iraq not Vietnam when I said they may not necessarily want a Democracy form of government established. In other words in the U.S. the government was built and found by the people so why can't we let them establish what ever government suits them, is all i was trying to say. When I brought up the Vietnam war I was saying that it was hopeless in constantly fighting because in some cases you never knew who your friend or enemy was. I know this because my school history teacher fought in the war and he told us this first hand. So basically what i mean is when your fighting a war there is a losing side but with the loss of life its hard to say a certain side won. |
