Well again Urbane Guerrilla demonstrates fictional knowledge of history. Ho Chi Minh asked to become a protectorate of the US because Ho Chi Minh feared ..... Red China. Well documented in US government analysis but not found in "The World According to Urbane Guerrilla". Same documents that the US government feared Americans would read.

Those documents were widely published and read by Americans who learn from history rather than rewrite history. Urbane Guerrilla would even claim that Saddam was participatory in attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. He is again doing as the George Jr administration would do; rewrite history when convenient. Maybe Urbane Guerrilla will also declare "Mission Accomplished"?

Interesting how history will be rewritten to justify the invasion of Iran. Let's consult an expert. Urbane Guerrilla: what is the historical justification for an invasion of Iran? Legal precedent found in a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor? Or is being defined as an axis of evil is sufficient? Maybe their election was rigged. Would that justify an invasion to rescue democracy in Iran? Maybe we could arrange a Gulf of Tonkin in the Persian Gulf? So many good myths from Vietnam could justify the invasion of Iran.

Ho Chi Minh asked to become a protectorate of the US in five letters to Truman because he feared Red China. Urbane Guerrilla tells us that Ho Chi Minh went to Red China for help. From what? Red China?
