Not the similarity of Paul's and McGovern's words when misrepresenting the slaughter in the aftermath of Vietnam today. After all there's another war to oppose.
Once we left Vietnam and quit bombing its people they became friends and trading partners
George McGovern
After Vietnam that did not happen, which what was predicted; we're trading partners and they're capitalistic now

I have no idea what you've just written. Could you clarify?
There was no slaughter in Vietnam, which you misrepresented, and I can't understand why you're trying to equate what happened then with what's happening today. It is only presumed that a slaughter will take place and, frankly, I could care less if they offed each other over there!
If our pulling our troops out means they start infighting then I say bring our guys and galls home today and let 'em kill each other off.

Actually, that is not what happened.
Snip...It is true that Vietnam eventually became a trading partner (friend is another matter). But this was not true that it occurred once we left and quit bombing its people. Before that took place, a Republican president confronted the Soviet Union in Europe and Afghanistan and forced the collapse of the Soviet empire. It was only then, after the Cold War enemy and support of the Vietnamese Communists had been defeated, that they accommodated themselves to co-existence with the United States.
