7. REALITY was the issue during Vietnam, too.

Edited on Tue Mar-21-06 10:37 PM by rocknation

Americans turned against Viet Nam because it became clear that America could not win it. And America didn't win it for pretty much the same reason why Bush will never win in Iraq: things have reached the point where you can no longer tell the enemy from the citizenry.

Less than a week after 9/11, I said that if "we'd better put some thought into HOW we retalilate, or we'll end up with a war that has Viet Nam's fingerprints all over it."
