Russia, Cuba, China) Well, well, well, Vietnam, Korea, Lebanon, Grenada Let's see The Republic of Vietnam (South) was being attacked by a mixture of local (The Viet-Cong) rebels and external invaders (The army of the Peoples Republic of Viet-nam), THEY ASKED US IN. The Republic of Korea(south) was attacked by the Army of the Peoples Republic of Korea (north), we were asked to help them out. Lebanon was in the throws of a ~20 year Civil war, exacerbated by 2 invasions one from the East (Syria) and one from the South (Israel), Again we were invided in by the Legimate ELECTED GOVEREMENT OF THAT COUNRTY!!! Grenada is a different story, the legimate government of that country had been overthrown (in a MOST brutal manner) by its own armed forces the United States went in to 'protect' the Americian students there, weither we should have gone or not is a moot point, the fact that we went in, got our people out and got out (in a very short time) is to our credit. Perhaps the people of Eastern Europe, and Afganistan should sue the USSR, they werent even invited and they have stayed for 30+ years. Why don't you take your little rosy RED glasses off and take a REAL look at the world!!!!! -- Stephen C.
