You came after the French, yes. But not to help them. Leave it to saying that you just went there, for some idiotic reason and after staging an incident.
There are only wars of needs and wars of choice and desire. Vietnam was one of the latter, like most of America's wars since WWII.
Desert Storm also could be debated, considering how Wshington allowed it to end and how the American ambassador send mixed signals to Saddam before he went into Kuwait, and that Saddam was Washington's pet they still continued to allow a long line after Desert Storm, when he cracked down on the Shia that trusted in Washington'S promise to assist them. As we know by now, that trust was a very bad mistake.

Yes all bullcrap. We agree on one thing. Proxy war on communism is what I believe. Others see different, but unless you or me are one of the initiators we will never know, all we know is that someone got wealthy from it, which was my point of the whole thing...
I tend to look at the big picture, poor men died, while rich men prospered.
