Rarebird, I must disagree. The US has the one thing that it takes to defeat this enemy. It has the WILL to do so.

Comparisons with Vietnam are not relevant here. Throw in the fact that they are the best equipped and certainly one of the best trained forces and I think that you will see quite a different outcome than Vietnam. Particularly if they attack again (which I fully expect).

And I say this not as a jingoistic, media brainwashed citizen. In fact, I say this as a Canadian, who travels the world and is exposed to the "broader picture". This is a pivitol moment in US history, a turning point. The battle will be long and hard and in the midst of one of the most devastating financial collapses in recent memory. In fact we will probably emerge from this in a totally different world, the likes of which I am afraid to speculate about just yet but the signs of which are frightening.
