So it seems we handed Iran over to Iraq while incurring a total cost of $4-6 Trillion over the years to pay for these wars. Brilliant.

It was floated that the Iraqi oil would pay for the war.

I definitely remember that one.
What I don't understand is the free security for the Chinese copper mines in Afghanistan that is really making China to look good by employing all those Afghan citizens.

The sad thing would be if Iraq replaced Syria as Iran's proxy i.e. running Habollah from there like they did from Syria and do in Lebanon...

that would be an awful shame

Vietnam became Communist.
North Korea remains Communist
China is still Communist

Pol Pot took over in Cambodia also.....

Anyone remember the Right trumpeting that Reagan had "defeated Communism"?

I do. You couldn't get through a day for years without having to listen to that brainwashed nonsense.

Yeah, they "defeated Communism". That's why we have COMMUNISTS threatening to bomb Hawaii, the last few days. That's why Cubans still languish under COMMUNISM today. That's why we STILL question the motives of Russian politicians, many of whom are just old COMMUNISTS in sheeps clothing. ("...I looked into his eyes and could tell that he's a good guy.") That's why American Capitalists still wheel and deal with COMMUNIST leaders in China for slave labor.....as I type.

Gotta admire their determined efforts at claiming success out of abject failure.

It is breathtaking.

most Communist countries (all in fact) have command control of the economy.
So does China.
