It also started with one or two harmless articles mentioning 'yeah, maybe we should sell out S. Vietnam'. In the end it successfully sold out the lives of 60,000 American and 200,000 S. Vietnamese soldiers.<br /><br />NYT serves as a mouth piece for that purpose again?

I wonder. <br /><br />Always shocking to see someone blithely willing to sign off on a decision about other peoples' business. But I say though the US has gone as far as it will and will stay where it's at -- refusing to support Taiwan's independence movement. And I'd be shocked if China ever openly renounced use of force, though they may give up on that as a realistic option.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-52164758527676211402012-06-16T19:37:59.343+08:002012-06-16T19:37:59.343+08:00Not really surprising that Aussie elites are comin...Not really surprising that Aussie elites are coming to that conclusion.Michael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-53639619731945467092012-06-16T19:37:05.063+08:002012-06-16T19:37:05.063+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-59646251053968202592012-06-16T19:35:46.661+08:002012-06-16T19:35:46.661+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-47380344923257736842012-06-16T19:23:42.338+08:002012-06-16T19:23:42.338+08:00Hugh White is Australia's leading commentator ...Hugh White is Australia's leading commentator on defense issues.
