I prefer Chinese food to vietnamese, so I will go back there instead.

But you are right about vietnam, it does look like an interesting place to visit. Thailand and Cambodia would be on that list too.

Jeez, if Annie wants to clear her name in the case about her father's murder, why doesn't she just leave town when Ben offers to work hard on that very thing? And the gang had Eddie up against the wall, why didn't they press him to find out why he had the Deschanel jewels? I swear, she's throwing a lot away just because she's freaking out about Meg spending so much time with Ben. It's just that with Bette, Ben and Meg having tried for ages to talk sense into her she should...

Sadly, that's very common. People have bought into a system that promotes "running up the score" at the cost of a vast majority of humanity.

I think we need a monarchy to replace it, but that opens the question of who's fit. We don't want a permanent version of the four assclowns running for president right now.

This wouldn't be left up to the current electorate. They've already proven themselves utterly incompetent in such matters. It should be up to a committee convened by a temporary regent.

Which possibly would have led to a couple of generations of stability in Europe.

Also possibly could have led to Russia gaining territory. Depends on how well Stalin intimidated all of his leadership into accepting another meat grinder.

Your statement presupposes a great deal about the plan.
