We did invade vietnam. Vietnam beat their brutal french colonizers and won their independence ( 1st indochina war ). But we decided to get involved and seized half the country. ( 2nd indochina war ).

> North Vietnam was the aggressor.

No. North vietnam were liberators helping their fellow vietnamese in the south ( viet cong ) expel a foreign occupier.

> The U.S. did invade Iraq, using the authority granted in U.N. resolution 678.

How sneaky of you. That was the 1st iraq war. What about the 2nd iraq war?

The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly for the first time last night that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal.

All the middle east wars by US including the millions murdered, raped, tortured by US was illegal according to UN.

But "WHY IS RUSSIA SO AGGRESIVE?"

I almost agree with you but North Vietnamese as liberators... It's a bit much.

The Vietnamese wanted independence and the refusal of France and later the the intervention of the US into the Vietnamese internal politics led the Vietnamese people to turn to the Communist party as the party of independence.

The very same thing happened a few years earlier in Cuba.

But the Communist parties were not "liberators", as both the Vietnamese and the Cuban peoples discovered very quickly. But the French (obviously) and the US weren't either.

Vietnam is a nice country... for tourists. People there are not free at all. Nor are Cubans.
