Goodness me. You are a very obtuse fellow, William. Which post is the
above a response to? Actually, never mind.

As for this recurring reference to Vietnam. I'm sure you've got a good
heart, William, but you need to realise how offensive some of your pet
refrains are. To insinuate that it's possible to equate the Milosevic
regime's struggle to survive with the Vietnamese people's struggle to
survive in the 1960s/70s shows a bewildering ignorance of S.E.Asian
history. It is nothing less than a audacious insult to the millions of
victims of U.S. imperialism and U.S. sponsored fascism. Therefore I must
conclude that your understandable contempt for U.S. foreign policy so
consumes you that you have become utterly incapable of expressing
yourself on the matter. It's either that, or, if not - your concern for
victims-of-the-U.S.A. is a cynical pose, which serves to underpin your
simplistic predeliction for ludicrous retorts.

Sorry to be so candid. Funny/obtuse, I can handle. But just plain-silly
is irritating.

Cheers
