Right, it’s something that no one really talked about during hte Vietnam Era. I wasn’t alive but it was all Domino Theory and all that. Honestly, anti-communists in their zeal never understand why some groups turned to the Communists. Latin and South America, a lot of the things going on there that we intervened in during hte Reagan years were conflicts between elites and indigenous peoples.

This all calls for a people with enough knowledge of history to understand pollitical, social, cultural and religious nuances. Not people who think Andrew Jackson is twice as valuable as Hamilton, four times more valuable than Lincoln and twenty times more valuable than George Washington…
