Once again jFRAUD you've gotten wrong again.

Here is what one of the articles, http://www.thenation.com/docprint.mhtml?i=20001106&s=wiener said:

In interviews with Summers, she said she met with Nixon and his campaign manager (and future Attorney General), John Mitchell, who told her to inform Saigon that if Nixon won the election, South Vietnam would get "a better deal."

Gee, I am stunned.  Nixon was privately informing the South Viet Namese that he was in favor of continuing to support South Viet Nam.  I guess they didn't read the newspapers or watch CBS News.  That's hardly "sabatoge."

It's hardly an invitation to peace.

No, but it's not "sabatoge," either.  Nixon talked about plans to end the war, but he wasn't running around saying he'd abandon South Viet Nam.  He was saying in private what he was saying in the campaign.

Spin spin spin

In you case. society would be better by you going "snip, snip, snip."  It would improve the species.

It really hard to call Nixon's public proposals "sabatoge."  That's the real spin here.  Typical, typical, typical of the Loony Left like jFRAUD.

 He was pro South Viet Nam.   You can argue that it's a bad policy, but saying so isn't sabatoge.

Another failure of the education system.

You're correct jFRAUD, so He are definitions to help you understand:

Sabotage:
Treacherous action to defeat or hinder a cause or an endeavor; deliberate subversion.

Propose:
To put forward for consideration, discussion, or adoption; suggest: propose a change in the law.

http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/

Nixon proposed more support for South Viet Nam during the campaign.  Now that is past tense because the campaign ended in 1968 but this is what he put forward.

Sabotage refers to an act that is treacherous.  That's a big word.  Can you say "treacherous?"  Good, I knew you could.

Now "treacherous" means:
"Marked by betrayal of fidelity, confidence, or trust; perfidious."

There was no "betrayal."  The message possibly passed was the same one that he said publically.

If you don't understand, I can try to use smaller words and make it even easier for you.

I would take out 1988 and insert 1920.
