JG Ballard got there first, as usual. Fifty years now since he wrote a wonderful short story called The Killing Ground, where Britons are fighting a guerilla war against the invading Americans.
The Vietnam war's mission creep had extended so far that the US was battling armed resistance groups the whole world over, with fighting in Britain just a backwater. "... the war had turned the entire population of Europe into an armed peasantry, the first intelligent agrarian community since the eighteenth century." In a neat twist the action takes place in the water meadows around Runnymede, where the Magna Carta was signed, whose principles of freedom formed the basis of the US constitution. A brilliant story, appears in The Venus Hunters collection. |

He was a very good SF writer JG Ballard
I would not argue with the US getting rid of Buck House I remember that crisp, he appealed against wind farms I think? So they would definitely on the list or perhaps he was turned down when asking to build a course? |

As far as Indo Chin or perhaps more accurately Vietnam. There intervention was to stop South Vietnam being
invaded by the North. So I feel they had some moral justification, they same as when they intervened in Korea. These were defensive wars But what I have seen from the United States more recently is aggressive wars. They deliberately tried to bring down Iraq, Saddam Hussein, but they had no moral justification for this. So I am now against the United States unless they return to just fighting wars of defence. I do not want them as the World Policeman and trying to force their political system, economic system or values on any other country. I believe countries should respect each other. |

I am not sure I believe that website...it seems too anti Catholic
France wished to hang on to Vietnam, that was more about French Colonialism than Religion. Vietnam and it's people have suffered a lot. I don't think the United States has forgiven them yet. If you think it was religion fine breadnbutter, I am staying with colonialism at the moment If I change my mind I will let you know |

I forgotThe United States lost a lot of their young men there, although the Vietcong lost vastly more. The United States had considerable air support which the French did not have. The French though they could draw Ho Chi Mihn into Bien Dien Phu and defeat him, but it was they who were defeated |

The French were defeated at Bien Dien Phu in 54 and sounded the retreat ,the Americans moved in but the common denominator was the Catholic Church,of course the USA using the my enemy's enemy is my friend approach did not help themselves but they were attempting to stop the spread of communism .
The link i gave you is very imformative ,in what way are you suggesting its inacurate other than it not being written from a pro catholic perpspective ? Why anything should be written from a pro catholic perspective after you read about the Three Secrets of Fátima i find perpplexing.,whats your take on the dancing sun in portugal gerry ? (a simple yes/no will suffice) Of course many many millions of people died during and after the Vietinam war and the previous French indochina war ,which was really the end of WW11 ,Subsequently Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge made Ho chi Minh look like a moderate. Interesting that when the USA started to take a beating the Catholic church done a secret deal (with smoke and mirrors from more revelations) and high tailed it leaving the USA to it ,there is a big lesson there imo. So to summarise the link is anti catholic therefore must be factually incorrect and lets move swiftly on . Gerry ,all these revelations surrounding the catholic church and communism ,please could you elucidate ? |
