That was only because the only opening allowed to them was a bunch of strongly theocratic radicals hell bent on purging out the previous regime. Not a recipe for happy families. In this case you can't rely on the elephants freezing to death in the winter.
The Vietnam war has been over for 30+ years, this has given the Vietnamese time to move on.
The US installed one brutal despot who beast the shit out of the populace. The only respite they had was in the Mosques, which guaranteed that any movement against the government was going to be theocratic and violent with a large amount of anit-west thrown in for good measure. And Iran has had to suffer that ignominy continually for the last 50 years.
The West cleared the land, tilled the fields and planted the seeds of a theocratic and violent society. To then claim that the Iranians are responsible for their predicament today is plain out disingenuous.
... The Iranians created this horrible society. It is none of our business unless they attempt to develop nuclear weapons. We in the West are morally justified in destroying the nuclear-weapons facilities..... Cultures are different. Vietnamese culture and Iranian culture are different. The Iranians bear 100% of the blame for the existence of a tyrannical government in Iran. We should condemn Iranian culture and its people.
You seem to be missing out the part when the US helped overthrow the democratically elected government in 1953 and installed a brutal despot. Nope, nothing to do with how that changed Iranian society at all.
you are not smart politics-wise are you ? hardliners stole the election - they got 55%+ vote even in places that never voted for anyone except their ethnic candidates. election fraud has been committed. and now the government of ahmedinajad is trying to suppress discussion. thats it.
can you point to any sources that are reporting this %55 figure? Emotionally believing that the election was stolen is easy to do, but I have yet to see any major news sources making the same claims that you are. Although it may be that I am not looking in the right locations.
This is why I can't take the view point that the muslims hate the west because we are successful. If the west hadn't been dicking around with the middle east in such a ham fisted way then the environment wouldn't have been created for an anti-western sentiment. I'd be pissed too if I had been subjected to the same treatment.
If anything Iran deserves more help from the west as it was the west that effectively put the bad guys in charge in Iran, when they toppled the democratically elected government in the 1950's and installed their own pet despot (under the guise of saving the world from communism) . IMHO the flow on from this act set the scene for creating a large part of the mess that the middle east is in.
Because I have only lost central vision in one eye. I still have peripheral vision in it. So it all gets screwed up for me.
And try holding one eye shut for several hours
I'm serious when I say I am blind in one eye, and as a result any gimmicky attempt to project 3d at me fails miserably. I get lovely coloured shadows on everything that makes the movie look shit.
So I am apprehensive that 3D seems to be the path that movies are heading. I can just see myself in 30 years surrounded by my collection of flatscreen 2D movies while swearing at all the kids to "Git off my lawn"
And I wonder what all the colour blind people think of 3D?
Agree with you on your analysis. Just skimmed the paper as well and all those people who mentioned the paper writes pulling numbers out of their arse should go read it themselves.

Which was a plot element in the animated movie Harvie Krumpet from 2003.

I know that I'm not bad off, but still don't like the idea of a move to 3d
Didn't stop him making them .. but sure as hell stopped him watching them.
Ok who modded me as funny?

Ah .. yes .. office suites!
This sort of shit has been happening ever since there were companies competing for market-share of the same domain.
And I doubt it is even related to software alone.

Wished I had mod points for you

"When we advised Fox News of the facts," the statement said, "they promptly terminated Mr. Friedman."
Now that's harsh

On a recent visit to Australia I saw posters advertising pre-paid iPhones
The lowest price you can get an iPhone contract for in the US is $US70 per month. My cousin in Australia has her iPhone contract for $AUD58 per month.
