Iv'e been pondering what you said.

"I applauded giving the Soviets back some of what they gave us in Viet Nam."

Laudable.

"It is inconceivable that an intelligent person would have to reduce events to a game of one on one and not be able to look at situations on their merit."

Forgive me, but the cold war seemed pretty straight forward- Black and White. How could have we foreseen the rise of the Taliban and the consequences of their take over of Afghanistan?

Do you have a crystal ball?
