In the 6th September 2004 issue of TIME, Joe Klein (one of its editors, was in support of Kerry.

Klein wrote that he himself ventured into Vietnam and heard the stories that very very similar to what Kerry had heard. The rest is now history.

Instead of wasting time on Vietnam which has already been acknowledged by many as a colossal US mistake and one which has plunged the US into a never ending downward spiral of debt/deficits and loss of credibiity and prestige abroad, why not pay more attention on the war in Iraq.

When Allawi comes calling soon, Bush will get him to lie to the American public that, thanks to Bush, the insurgents are desperate and on the run and that only Bush can defeat them once and for all.

BTW, Americans heard something similar about 30-35 years ago when both Johnson and Nixon assured them the war was being won and be over with SOON!!! That SOON period dragged on for a good SEVEN years from 1968 to 1975!!! That happened because of hubris: neither Johnson nor Nixon wanted to be the first president in US history to lose a war! You know, history often repeats itself.
Iraq could well prove to be another colossal mistake and more than a big kick in the butt for the US.
