>There is a lot I can say on the topic of Vietnam, but I will say one thing. When Nixon was campaigning for President during September of 1968, he made comments about the power of the United States. He asked why our nation could not drop atomic bombs on North Vietnam, and upon doing so we could pave it before Christmas of 1968, and make it a parking lot!

Effectively 20000 US soldiers and probably several hundred thousand South East Asians died to win that election for the Republicans.
