1.Was Indonesia ever under 'imperialist' American control as you assert in your first post?

2.Was South Vietnam? (Indo-China as it was known to its French imperialist oppressors)

3.Have you ever been to Central America? Have you ever been to Central Europe? The simple fact of the matter is that no matter how many American machinations were put into play in Central America or South East Asia, it was not 'imperialism' as you put it in the first place, and all of the places that American 'imperialism' was felt have turned out a lot better than all the places that Russian Impirialism was.

1.how is that impirialism? And you seemingly forget everyone who came before Nixon (is it just because Tricky Dicky is an easier target of scorn and ridicule?).
