Dear Fender:
Obviously, you can't envision the horror that both our troops and the Iraqi civilian population experience daily as a result of the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of our leadership.
And we're not talking about Darfur, Tibet, Somalia, etc. here ... we're talking about what you probably see as the most "moral" nation in the world.
Vietnam ended a little more than thirty years ago, and we're making the same mistakes we made there, only this time, those mistakes are going to haunt us a lot longer. The people of the Middle East are not like the Vietnamese. Take that from one who has experienced both places.
Hope you are around to see the judgment of history on this.
