Charles,
       Certainly, I lived through that period and read newspapers, magazines,
etc the way a pirhana feeds. Your contentions are simply so far off base
they are unbelievable. The Media can and do slant the news but they can only
go so far. Your sources are baldly rewriting the history that happened.
       I remember in the late 50s how the North agreed to the DMZ to put a
buffer between them and the South. Of course they followed that by doing an
end run through Laos. I remember well their attempts to run Tom Dooley out
of Laos. They didn't want anyone over there they would know what was going
on or who would make friends with the Laotians. The Communists had a price
on a medical missionaries head for crying out loud.
       I lived through that "communist hysteria" and remember well that the
communist term for anyone that resisted their takeover was the label
"reactionary."
