Wow, never meant to run you off. It seems like our imagination is a key element to our ability to navigate our environment. Yes, we imagine things that are silly sometimes. In this case I wasn't there but the press was. We saw it on T.V.. There were hawks and Doves and everywhere in between. After my study of the Viet Nam war, which is extensive, my view is that 1000's of people died needlessly. We shouldn't have been there. A false flag event, "The Tonkin incident", where American destroyer Maddox was supposedly attacked twice by three North Vietnamese torpedo boats in 1964 in the Gulf of Tonkin never happened. What was happening at the time were aggressive South Vietnamese raids against the North in the same general area. Huge American presence wasn't decisive and President Nixon negotiated a "peace with honour" in 1973. This war was lost, when North Vietnam finally conquered South Vietnam in 1975., pushed the nation into believing we needed to go to war with the Viet Cong. ( 9/11, Iraq?)
In our group in New York there was someone killed, forcably raped, many were harassed and beaten up, and an apartment was robbed.
Though you and I are wearing different colored glasses doesn't mean that one pair is right and the other wrong...the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.
