RS: What "straight line" would that be? EC: "Multiple takes". RS: What does that have to do with schizophrenia? ES: Multiple personalities wouldn't have multiple takes? Okay, what does *that* have to do with schizophrenia? You're making less sense than usual, Eric. And that's a pretty high bar. |

I do know that single personalities can. So someone with multiple personalities that have only a single take on life could exist as a mentally ill person, yet we would not know it? Fascinating!

And they were the ones who rose up when the US troops started to attack and helped, right? Apart from the Kurds, who we all know the US can't fully support (give them their independent homeland, and Turkey will invade it a minute later), the rest of the country seemed to be either neutral or anti US. In Afganistan we at least had a native group to put in power. I think it only takes an active slice of 1% of the population and the willing cooperation of another 5% to pretend to be a popular uprising, take over, install your own dictatorship, and start putting enough of the other 94% into reeducation camps to consolidate your hold on power. Real dictatorships rarely have problems with popular uprisings. -- Warning: I am very behind on usenet; if you really want me to see a message, cc: me a copy. - pgf |

If memory serves, a policy which involved significant wastage of the VC whilst conserving NVA strength and resources, from an internal political standpoint, was probably a feature and not a bug. Well, they eventually wound up having to replace VC casualties with infiltrated NVA personnell, who weren't as good at doing the sort of tactics the VC needed to do. They also weren't familiar with the terrain the way the locals the VC had recruited were. -- Warning: I am very behind on usenet; if you really want me to see a message, cc: me a copy. - pgf |
