Jlallen, re: the question is...will we elect a President in November who will stay the course...or cut and run....that will be the ultimate parallel to Vietnam.... You think that helps your Bush/Cheney ticket? I don't think that comparison is one you should try to trumpet. There are too many wives, mothers, fathers and children who would like to have seen that war end years earlier. And remember, the free world didn't come to an end when we stopped killing Vietnamese and bringing our children home in plastic bags. Those who never reevaluated our policy in Vietnam and "stayed the course" are living with the nightmare of tens of thousands of names on the wall. And with the knowledge that there was no good reason for it. But keep on thinking that we could have "won," and never ask, "won what and at what cost?" If being "conservative" means you never change horses, then don't complain when the race ends the same way each time. Ed
