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

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.
