    So, you’re saying that because the Shah was terrible in 1979 it’s okay for the current people to be terrible now?

    Right now Vietnam is a very popular tourist destination for Americans. I know people who have been there several times and want to go back.

      Literally two comments ago you were saying this:

      Most of the time when you destroy the system you get a much worse system.

      Was the Shah good or bad? Is it important that what came before the Shah was a popular democratic system that the US destroyed? Is that destruction justified if it becomes a great vacationing spot for Americans?

      You’re all over the place bud.

        How is it ‘beside the point’ when it’s exactly my point?
