ManyMoose;

Thirdly, lay off micromanaging the war with untenable rules of engagement.

Surely you were not an adult during VietNam if you think all that was wrong with VietNam was micromanaging of the war? VietNam was tearing our country apart. We were destroying a generation of kids by sending them into a war that the American people NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

The same is now happening in Iraq and it is why when a country goes to war you had best be sure you will have the support of the people.

Well, some of the people made it out. The people who didn't suffered great tragedy at the hands of the North Vietnamese. I don't want to repeat this in Iraq.

So we stay there forever so that their people who hate each other have someone to keep them apart? Just read a very interesting piece in Technology Review describing what is happening to our kids who are subjected to "blast" in Iraq. Increasingly they are find major and permanent damage to our kids. What about our kids? ......Are things getting better in Iraq? Hell no. I just read that in 2005 80% of the kids were in school, that level is now down to 50%. It just gets worse and worse.
