She was doing the same thing that Obama announced he will do with Cuba, North Korea, and Iran. Attempting to establish a dialogue to try to find some way out of a stupid conflict for all concerned, without violence. (Naturally, Billary said it was a stupid idea. Why establish a dialogue and find a way we can all live together when we can simply bomb them into the stone age...)
Dialogue between who? She wasn’t an official representative of the U.S. government, was she? Her only purpose was to stroke her own ego over what a good person she was. If she actually gave a shit about the Vietnamese people she would have spoken out about the atrocities committed by the North Vietnamese government when it took over the south, and about the plight of the boat people.
quote:
As I pointed out, if American bombers are not carpet bombing within range of that anti-aircraft gun, then that anti-aircraft gun will not be capable of inflicting violence.
You’re nitpicking.
quote:
I personally find people who think her sitting on the anti-aircraft gun as endorsing violence to be rather myopic. The point of view I take away from it is an individual, brave enough to speak her mind, supporting the right of a free people to defend themselves against foreign aggression.
Did she ever condemn the North Vietnamese for invading the south? Also, the north Vietnamese were living under a communist government, therefore they were not free. Freedom and communism are incompatible.
quote:
I am always amazed by people who think the United States involvement in Vietnam was anything but foreign aggression from the perspective of the Vietnamese.
And that statement applies to me... how?

Must be the blinders some people wear to avoid being faced with the fact that they are the Bad Guy.
Must be. What does this have to do with me?
