    Gee, I don't know, I've only read about it, but it seems to me that
    the Communists had a lot to do with all those poor Vietnamese who
    died....but I guess that's just Fascist propaganda put out by the
    Reagan "regime," huh?

    As for the "40,000" killed by death squads in El Salvador, where is that
    figure from, "The Nation?"  I like to think I'm reasonably current on
    these things, and I've never seen a figure CLOSE to that magnitude
    before...I'm NOT saying Andy Berman's wrong, just trying to get a source
    to consider...

    Uh, speaking of hypocrisy, Andy....
