    I have justified the comment and said why I made it now. Perhaps you
    have not read it. I beg your pardon? I was not actively rooting
    for the victory of any 'murderous regime'. I was rooting for the end
    of our senseless and murderous involvment in a pseudo-war we should
    never have entered. There is a whole world of difference. If you
    can not see the difference then I don't see we have an basis for
    further dialogue.

    I never once called the any communist bloodbath a myth. And I will
    not once again be dragged into the very imho revisionist views some
    here hold of the Vietnam fiasco.
