cnyndwllr, I was against the war in Vietnam. I worked in a local campaign office for George McGovern, and protested Nixon on the grounds of the Washington Monument during his Second Inauguration. My reevaluation of our Vietnam policy came after the fall of Saigon; the mass executions; the re-education camps; the fall of Laos and Cambodia; the boat people; Pol Pot; etc. I did not become "for" the war in Vietnam, but I became a lot less sure that "against" was correct. So I am afraid your "lessons from the Vietnam War" are not so obvious or compelling as you seem to believe........
