“If you tell me that millions of civilians were killed by the US during the Vietnam war, then the discussion is over. It simply is not true.”
Benson, I was referring to all of the US interventions over say, the past 120 years. Having said that, Vietnam alone was somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1,000,000 casualties.

priest, the rabi and the dulcolax?
Some faces even a mother can’t honestly love! My poor nephew was busted as all hell until he got to be about 18mos old. That was a rough 18 months.
