Communism is just the ultimate form of socialism, something that most European and other advance countries practice.

They do that because runaway unbridled and unregulated capitalism leads to fascism, something we are seeing being played out in the United States today.

Almost all of South America is turning toward socialism because America has proved what a failure greed driven capitalism is for the people.

So we didn''t stop the spread of capitalism, we helped it. Just as we are helping the spread of Islam and terrorism (no relation).

Out of curiosity how did we win the cold war? I think it is a case of having a little more endurance.

We won the cold war by outspending them on weapons systems. I realize some people have the ridiculous idea that our flop in Viet-Nam played a part in the "win", but it didn''t It was a waste of time, money, effort and most of all, lives, just like the war in Iraq is.

The attack on Norwegians by the Taliban bombers, if that is what this was, ought to be regarded as an attack on ISAF and NATO, and NATO countries other than the US ought to take a tough response.

Don''t expect much from the Europeans in NATO, unless perhaps the Norwegians themselves are angered and decide to up their numbers in ISAF (just as likely they will cave in). It will be interesting to see whether this incident has consequences. Of course, the Spanish model is to make a deal with terrorists: "promise not to attack us, if we run."

noloyalisti,
The Viet Nam War was a part of the Cold War against Communist imperialism. In fact we won the Cold War even though we could not save Viet Nam. That''s what we won. If the US had not made a stand against the spread of communism we would live in a communist world today. If the US does not make a stand against jihadists today we will be Islamist tomorrow.

The big news is that there is a luxury hotel in Afghanistan. Who would have thought?

We may have won all the battles but we lost the war. It caused a very bad economic recession that is similar to what we are experiencing now. We killed two million Vietnamese and poisoned their country for generations. It led to the disaster that was Reagan and conservative based privatization of the country which is enriching the corporate CEOS at the expense of the rest of us.

What did we win?

(continued) doesn''t have any plans to usurp Islamist oil. If the west wasn''t buying oil from middle eastern countries, Iran and Saudi Arabia would be sh@t out of luck.

[feralwind]

Unlike western countries, war for Islamists means deliberately targeting civilians.
That''s one of the reasons why Islamists must be eradicated.

Islamists are also the REAL oil ******, not western countries. Islamists don''t want democracy because it would mean that they would have to distribute oil proceeds to their poverty stricken populations.

Islamists intend to be dictators, using the money they make on oil sales to obtain weapons and world-takeover.

noloyalisti Please tell me where we "Lost" Viet-Nam, The last time I looked, we were forced to retreat because of defunding by the Liberal wussies. We did not lose one battle (documented).

Just another day and another bomb brought to us all on behalf of radical Islam!
