Coming in as the anti-war president with a mandate to end that war, Kennedy would have ended the war much sooner than nixon/kissinger imo. It seems logical, no? And the NV would have cooperated to some extent. It would have saved them much in manpower and treasure and they would have gained their objectives much sooner. In the end they would have ended up running the country in any case. We can argue the one country/two country thing forever but vietnam is one country and as nasty as the NV were, they were the only force available to govern the entire country. Should we have stayed the course forever in the vain hope that we could produce an alternative outcome? mike
PS I will read your resonse but probably not comment. I dont like to argue vietnam because when i do, i become far less confident on how iraq will turn out. I hope we support a viable entity there and dont fall in love with puppets or folks who tell us what we want to hear.
PPS Sistani and the Kurds are folks we have to take seriously. How do we get a popular Sunni piece into the mix?
