there have been a lot of arguments made about this. My feeling is that it was absolutely necessary to end the war decisively and on America's terms. In the absence of such a decisive American victory, the war would have continued and the resulting reality would almost certainly have been less favorable for America. So, I don't think it was racist at all, it was a final chess move designed to place America squarely and undeniably at the top of the global food chain. And here we are. still.

No, we are not on top anymore. Came and went. We have allowed political correctness to trump all else: survival, jobs, safety, economy, and our very existence. All the 70s hippies and celebrities cost us dearly, like ripples through a pond we have all allowed a small majority to dictate what is right and wrong. We could have won Vietnam decisively, the Gulf War, and now Iraq and Afghanistan. Vietnam we should have burnt those jungles to the ground and scoured every last vestige of NLF out and beaten them so badly into submission that they would not threaten anyone for a thousand years. The Gulf was fine, but the second time around we should have given the Kurds authority and let them rule. In Afghanistan we should have reduced those mountains to rubble and trapped all the cockroaches inside, burnt the poppy fields and scoured the earth so that none could ever grow there again. We should have let Israel go into Gaza and utterly obliterated anyone even thinking of taking up arms against the Jewish people.

But nope, a few celebrities and political figures changed the way one generation thought and now they are all grown up.
