To this day, some Americans believe the U.S. “lost” the Viet Nam war

People the world over must find non-violent ways to oppose American military force lest they suffer the fate of the Vietnamese and the Iraqis.

The Vietnamese lost four million civilians and the Iraqis to date have lost more than one million civilians as a result of U.S. aggression. Such losses---mainly of unarmed women and children---are unacceptable, as is the horrific physical destruction inflicted on those nations. Viet Nam has yet to recover from Pentagon bombing and the spread of Agent Orange. And Iraq may be centuries recovering from the ravages of U.S. radioactive ammunition fired there, euphemistically called “depleted uranium.”

1. The other day

a guy from Louisiana (coming from that class of whites who did not own slaves, but were slaughtered in the tens of thousands for those who did own slaves) told me that the Civil War was fought so the North (the aggressors) could control the Southern States' agriculture because of the year-round growing season.
