I just finished watching CNN where they said that three Iranian ships headed towards our US warships in a provacative manner. The U.S. were about to fire on the Iranians when they suddenly turned off. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident worked so well for Vietnam, why not re-hash it for the Iranians! Phantoms in the Persian Gulf!!

When he met the former North Vietnamese Minister in 1995, they jointly realised that the entire Viet Nam (American) War was unnecessary and the result of mutual misunderstanding. North Viet Nam believed the US wanted to enslave Viet Nam, continuing where the colonising French had left off. The US would have agreed to independence and reunification from Day 1. America wrongly assumed that a North Vietnamese victory would allow the Chinese to spread Communism throughout the region, essentially the Domino Theory. Viet Nam had been fighting China for the last 1,000 years. No way would they allow the Chinese in. The irony was that both sides thought they were fighting for freedom. So some 5.5 million deaths (Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia) as a result of misunderstanding and the inability of America to communicate and grasp the historical process. Or were the reasons even more sinister? And now history is repeating itself in Iraq. Next time it is suggested that the US pursue an isolationist policy, let's all support the proposal.
