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.
