Ambrose would agree with you. Read my post again. Ambrose's article that I quote did not say that the United States was engaged in "nation building" in Vietnam. If you will read the first paragraph carefully, you will discover that he did not subscribe to the idea that Vietnam was an example of nation building. What he said was that we should not permit our "failure" in Vietnam to blind us to our successes in other encounters with the world. As he wrote: "Rather than taking a negative historical lesson from Vietnam, we should take the positive lessons of WWII's aftermath. He then goes into a discussion of Japan and Korea.
