    Waiting for all the chuds who scolded me for “not listening to Muslim voters” when I argued exactly this to form an orderly queue and apologize one by one.

      I finally figured out how to shut up/shut them down.

      I simply point out that as an educated man, Ho Chi Minh would have known all about America’s long history of expansionism, racism, and imperialism. That didn’t do anything to stop him from working with the American OSS when it was time to fight the Japanese.

          Think of it this way. Dick Cheney is an oil man who has been involved in politics all his life. As far as I have been able to find, he doesn’t speak any Arabic. The same thing was going on in 1945; “educated” leaders who had no idea what the people they were dealing with were actually thinking.

      Don’t worry, they’ll assure you that American Muslims are just ‘white’ and ‘settler-brained’.
