Hi Ed, again, I appreciate your comments. Some of your concerns are my own as well. BUT I would feel personally much better if there really was some discourse from the anti-war folks that spoke to either or both of the concerns laid out in both these articles. It does seem that so many of the people who are espousing such hate, only really hate Bush and Republicans in general, without a thought as to the Country and real concerns.
Regarding Vietnam....I know you were there. The entire situation was a terrible thing for our country. Medals over the WH, killing at Kent State, our Military being spat on when coming home, riots in our cities, and murder of MLKing and Bobby Kennedy, and of course, JFK.
I really do think that this War is entirely different than Vietnam. It is about changing the Middle East , at least one place to start, into a functioning democracy rather than leaving it to function as a terrorist haven and training ground as it was. If it doesn't work out, we at least tried. Maybe millions of people will live because so many of our Military men and women were so brave. I don't know if we will be alive when the results "are in", but I surely hope so.
I've seen nothing from the anti-war folks that even pretends to visualize what will happen if we leave before the young democracy is mature enough to defend themselves.
There are some serious questions raised in these articles, even though many of the left would rather degrade them than think seriously about answering the questions....
