You did not have the slightest idea of what the population of Vietnam was of you would not have used a source so off the mark.
What was you source? The Rick Perry guide to foreign affairs?
Or - the lying Zionist scumbag bastard's guide to arguing against those who fight the tyranny of Israeli racism?

Is it possible to call that a holocaust?
Or do we have to check with the owners of Hollywood and the American media if we can use that copyrighted term because the death of any other people in the world has been deemed less important?
Wake up before you are made inot even more a victim that you already are.
The only people who want you dead are the Zionists.

dude, you are out there bro. You really belive that by posting the U.S wars, in comparison to Iran that it's not politcally biased. Sticking to the strict idea of declared war. OK the PERSIAN'S which is modern day Iran declared war on so many and killed so many the numbers are staggering, and since historical context is not relevant than my post should be meritable.
In 1975 all of Vietnam had a population of 15.1 million (had to edit/typo). If you're going to post something (7.5 million? really seriously?) at least do a rudimentary fact check so you don't look like a total idiot.
You're saying the US was responsible for wiping half the population off the face of the earth? Are you high?edit on 10-11-2011 by tangonine because: (no reason given)
Nope. CIA factbook is good. 48 million it is. I had a bad source. How about I call you a bigoted anti-american commie and we call it even?
Fact remains: you're still claiming the US single handedly killed ~15% of the population and you have exactly no source for that claim. None.

There are lots of other countries that act the same or worse. The question is, why is Iran in the crosshairs and not saudi arabia? If human rights is your problem? I thought it was something nuclear? lets keep it straight here, not enough nuke evidence? gotta go for the human rights card? hehe
Nice site though. No coincidence that its registered in washington dc. I'm sure.edit on 10-11-2011 by mayabong because: (no reason given)

Not sure where the OP is.
You didn't answer my question though. Front site or not, why you so hung up on Iran's human rights and not Saudi Arabia's? If you're an american why do you care about any of that crap. Do you want to bomb Iran because of your religion?

What does your source say?
US intervention in Southeast Asia started before the end of WWII of course but I mentioned the period between 1945 and 1975.
A fact that you are unaware of but certainly not the only fact you are unaware of is that virtually the whole source of financial support for the French attempt to take back it's claimed colonies in Indochina was the USA.
Since you know nothing about this era and don't think Zionists are bastards you might learn something here.
If you watch any footage of French soldiers in Indochina post 1945 you will notice their truck, tanks, rifles and even uniforms looked remarkably US GI.
France did not have a red cent or silver franc to go to war anywhere and virtually all the people France killed in SEA were killed with American bullets, shells and bombs.

Far from confining themselves to peaceful demonstrations, Iran and its allies in Iraq may be seeking to ensure a full U.S. withdrawal and to assert that their attacks drove the United States to withdraw. On numerous occasions since 2005, U.S. commanders in Iraq have asserted that the Qods (Jerusalem) Force, the unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard that provides support to pro- Iranian movements outside Iran’s borders, was providing arms (including highly lethal “explosively forced projectiles,” training, guidance, and financing) to Shiite militias in Iraq. The State Department report on terrorism for 2009, mentioned above, said that much of this support continues. 45 In late June and early July 2011, a spate of reports quoting senior U.S. officials (including Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen and Ambassador to Iraq Jeffrey) said there was recent, forensically confirmed evidence of Iranian weapons deliveries to Shiite militias: weapons that in June 2011 caused more U.S. troop deaths in Iraq (14 during the month) that at any time in the past two years. The shipments included more advanced versions of rocketpropelled munitions and bombs and were fielded by Shiite militias mostly in southern Iraq. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, on his first trip to Iraq in that capacity on July 11, 2011, vowed that the United States would press the Iraqi government to combat the militias that are responsible for the violence.

Not an excuse. It's a fact: I had a bad source, I should have looked deeper. See? You little commies can't even understand when someone admits they made a mistake. Now please source your 7.5 million number. And no Michael Moore doesn't count as a source.

Oh, I see. YOU think every dime the US spends is to kill someone. I've got you now. BRAVO949 means "commie" in English. So even though those were French troops, it was OUR fault. You just hate America, don't you? Still haven't sourced your 7.5 million number.edit on 10-11-2011 by tangonine because: (no reason given)
