If americans supported the south vietnamese the way the russians supported the north, vietnamese folks would have indeed died but the US just like the russians would not have had any casualties. Its when helping a country fight communism, or in the iraq case saddamism, becomes participation in what is mostly a civil conflct is when things go wrong for us. Vietnam, north and south, is indeed more of a country than iraq is and american troops only exacerbated the struggle and made it bloodier than it had to be. And of course when we pulled out scores were going to be settled. If we had stayed out, north would have won earlier and the post war price would have been much less. You play these games of mental masturbation nadine on vietnam and now iraq and all you can come up with a gratuitous insult for the opposing poster? Apparently as i am finding out very recently a linear connection between vietnam deniers and iraq war proponents that makes me very uncomfortable. LBJ=GWB Maybe its the water in Texas that does this to people. Or is the MacNamara/Rummy similarities on how not to run a war?
