Spray agent orange over 10 to 20 per cent of a tiny nation that couldn't threaten us in 200 years? No problem. Nuke 'em, a la Goldwater and W's fondest ambitions? Go for it!

Jane Fonda went to Vietnam because we were about to bomb the dikes (not dykes) which would have led, by most estimates, to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. Some witnesses say we'd already starting bombing them. It was cool with Nixon, it's on tape. We're talking serious war crimes on top of layers of war crimes we dealt to that dirt poor slice of swampy real estate, such as carpet bombing of civilian areas (yeah, we did it, there's lots of proof).

My Christian upbringin' taught me that sin has it's penalty. I say if anyone should'a been hung it was that pompous pinhead macho pretender, Gen. Westmoreland. Can you spell sh** for brains, boys and girls?

I say hats off to Fonda, warts and all, bratty and pretentious though she may have been. At least she stood up and said, "Not only no, but HELL no."

Give it a rest dude. Go get a massage or a hooker or something.

All the best,
