No. That you understand how it happened.

That’s fine. Stay away from geopolitical decision making. Most people shouldn’t have to weigh moral systems.
Please ask the people of Laos to "understand how it happened". A country where thousands have died after they were bombed to hell and back because of the unexploded bombs which still makes farming unviable. I don't need to understand the "how" because there is no "how" beyond imperialism which I understand perfectly well enough. There's no complex morality here
People here should really stop pretending that reading "both sides" of everything is some form of enlightenment. It is delusional
> stop pretending that reading "both sides" of everything
Nobody is doing that. They’re distinguish immoral and even illegal acts from the violation of a particular statute.
> imperialism
Another word you don’t understand. Hint: spoils. Iraq was imperialist. Laos was not.
