In March 2005, Freedom House published its most recent report on human rights. The report, “The Worst of the Worst: The World’s Most Repressive Societies 2005, lists Vietnam among the “World’s 18 worst regimes.” It includes detailed summations of the dire situations in Belarus, Burma (Myanmar), China, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Libya, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.
Remember also that in the 10 years after we left Vietnam, millions of Laotians, Cambodians and Vietnamese were slaughtered by the very people we were fighting.
I’ll make a deal with you, I’ll vote to get us out of Iraq if you vote to get us out of the UN…the creature that has started ALL the Post WW2 conflicts worldwide.Recalling what Winston Churchill said, “Cowards always start the wars that heroes have to finish.”
