"Four of America's last five wars have been fought on Asian soil and against Asian armies and that's become part of our collective unconscious" says tJeff Yang. I admire Mr. Yang's clever use of the word "Asian," thus trying to give a common theme to people who have little or nothing in common. Besides being "Asian," what do the regimes of Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, the North Vietnamese communist regime, Chairman Mao, and Kim Il-Sung have in common? I believe they were all murderous tyrannies but apparently that doesn't mean as much to Mr. Yang as the fact that they were "Asian" armies.
