Now, who's putting words in whose mouth? I never did say that Minh never had contact with US officials during WWII. In fact, it is quite well known that he did. All I ever questioned, or pointed out, was how quick you were to place blame on the GOP leadership in dealing with Minh. I will give you the fact that Eisenhower or the US may have screwed him over when Vietnam was divided in 1954. However, Truman was President in 1945 when the US asked the French to reestablish its imperial control over Indochina. This occurred after Minh declared Vietnam's independence when Japan surrendered to the allies. This is the FACT that I have referred to.
Regardless of how you choose to redefine it, what you have been doing is attacking the person rather than the issue.
You can't be serious? This coming from you? That was no attack. However, your double-standard in this issue is so overwhelming it's unbelievable. Go back and look at some of the threads you've been involved in. You don't hesitate to attack, name-call, or label, but you are the first to whine and cry about it if someone says "boo" to you. DVPGSR pointed this out rather nicely with a post (in a different "on-topic" thread) that questioned your claim of following the golden rule and if YOU wanted to continue with the attacks.
BTW, my ability to accept truth has nothing to do with what I think of you or anyone else. Don't flatter yourself. You're not that important.
