America isn't trying to Christianize world

Bill Litsinger in his guest opinion on June 2, said America's foreign policy desire, among other things, was to democratize and Christianize the entire planet. I hope the American Civil Liberties Union doesn't find out about that. Our armed forces have a certain percentage of Moslems, not to mention everything else under the sun. The use of our Islamic personnel to force other Moslems to convert to Christianity would be a violation of church and state. Shoot, we have trouble converting our own nation.

As for his war parallels, I guess, between Kool-Aid gulps, he forgot to mention that North Vietnam was being supported by the other super power in the world at that time; and when the political party that got us into the war pulled the plug on its support of South Vietnam, it quickly deteriorated into a lopsided battle not unlike a match between the New England Patriots and the Kootenai County Eagles. Who cares about the millions of folks that were exterminated as a result in southeast Asia? It was only democracy at stake.
