The southeast Asian country which was once considered to be a chaotic hotbed of subversive communist activity is now becoming a political and economic success story. Vietnam now stands for more than just a failed war.
More amazingly, The Decider believes the U.S. can take credit for the success of Vietnam. Has he forgotten 1975? I guess he was too drunk back then to pay attention.
Vietnam succeeded after foreign powers left. And that's what has to happen in Iraq. The process may not be pretty, but it will be better than continuing to treat the country as one large battlefield.
I don't think the United States of America would have gotten off the ground, either, if the French--who actually won the Revolutionary War--had stayed and dictated the running of the new country. Even after the French left it took the fledgling country another 11 years to write a workable constitution.
Yes, George, we should cut and run. For the sake of eventual stability in Iraq.
