Reply #10: But how are their "training wheels"?

[robertpaulsen]

Are they ready to have us take off their training wheels? Some people say we made a mess, but I think if we just change their diapers and burp them, they'll be so fucking grateful they'll throw flowers and sing nursery rhymes about us!

Yes, I read the other thread you're so right in mocking, and I'm so sick and tired of that patronizing "we broke it so we must fix it" bullshit. It is precisely BECAUSE we broke it that we cannot fix it. I'm so sick of explaining the concept of a no-win situation to people who think the lesson of Vietnam is that we "abandoned" South Vietnam. Take your hearts and minds and blow it out your ass!
