Can the opposition party come together on Iraq?
  • Extrication from Iraq

    Actually, the parallels between Iraq and Viet Nam are very strong. We created the mess in Vietnam by refusing to recognixe Ho Chi Minh's government in 1945 and sending the colonial French filth back in in 1946. We aided the French colonial war from 1948-1954 and then sabotaged free elections in 1956. Then, we aided and abetted the Diem brothers in attempting to impose catholocism on a country that was 90% Buddhist. We created the mess in Vietnam just like we created it in Iraq.

    The same warped thinking led to the same catastrophic outcome.
