They didn't hang Stalin or even Beria because of Katyn either. Although both
deserved that. There's a lot of injustice in this world that only rarely is
sanctioned. That's the disadvantage of democracy: we tend to be too
understanding. The Nurenberg trials were a (fairly) good exception, although
more of the accused should have been hanged.

Let's not get into Vietnam. My attitude at the time (I was 22 years old) was to
get in and win the war or get the hell out and mind our own business. It was a
mistake from word "go", just to support the French. And that, my friend, was
done at the behest of "Saint" J.F. Kennedy, whose best luck was being shot
before the worms in his can started to surface. Nixon, in my opinion, would
have been the better president, despite of everything that happened afterward.
He was also a scoundrel, but a relatively "honest" scoundrel. Kennedy was an
"underground" scoundrel, and is thus on the crappy 50-cent pieces in the States
nowadays (wonder when they will be replaced by paper, to "save money")..

Cheers, Bob
