Two especially sharp comments from among those:<br>
<br>
"George Orwell would have appreciated Prof. Lawrence's thesis that
the Vietnam war was some sort of aberration in the US's otherwise
benign foreign policy."<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
"The only positive result of the unjustified US war on the
Vietnamese people was that the resources it required prevented the
US from murdering other people around the globe, supposedly for
their own good."<br>
<br>
(that's a pretty low bar.)<br>
<br>
Thanks for pointing this out.<br>

decent job of deconstructing his nonsense, especially when
they are able to move beyond raging against Trump.</div>
