Anyone hear Kissinger's latest? It goes something like "we can never win in Iraq; therefore, we must keep our troops there."
At least he got the first part right.
He talked about how Bush thinks the main lesson of Vietnam was that we didn't stay there long enough, ...
That's standard neocon dogma.
Here are what I think were the lessons of Vietnam:
A sense of national pride and a resistance to foreign occupation, are very powerful motivating forces;
You cannot bring people democracy at the point of a gun. Democracy must come from within. It cannot be imposed from the outside.
If Bush had recognized those lessons, he would have recognized how stupid was the idea of invading Iraq.
Just say no to McCain 2008; he abandoned principle when he caved on habeus corpus
