4. America has had to stop the threat of spread of the godless Commie scourge since WWII and in

doing so, have regretfully had a hand in killing a few people (millions?) on their own soil and overthrowing countless governments that leaned even a tiny bit left of center. Professor John Quigley's "The Ruses for War," Prometheus Books, Buffalo, N.Y. (1992) discusses American interventionism since WWII and we all remember what has taken place since his book was published.

7. The irony is that in pursuing the communist bogey

the US killed way more people than the communists.

14. More than Mao and Stalin? I don't think so. nt

9. And luckily, the commies were almost always in profitiable areas.

They like to sit on top of precious commodities, apparently.

11. Quite staggering in map form, that it is

I can only see one error on it offhand though. I don't believe the US ever dropped an atomic bomb on Sudan. If memory serves that was a mixup in the foreign press when it got out that the US dropped a bomb on the Project Sudan test site, which is code name for one of the test sites here in Nevada. Some foreign press took it to mean we attacked Sudan.

What the map could be referncing is the 1998 cruise missile attack we directed against Sudan, in which case the map simply used the wrong symbol.

12. I wish it had a petroleum deposit overlay

I'll bet there would be quite a bit of overlap.
