Eventually the US will repeat the mistake in Vietnam. But it's too soon for the US to repeat Vietnam as the officers who saw their buddies killed by pissed off civilians (that the US had come to "help") are now generals. So no war in Iraq. as in a story a friend told me of passing an old Vietnamese man who offered the soldiers poisoned coke. They realized by his demeanor something was wrong. They poured the soda to the ground and walked away, tired of the killing.

And that was before the US destroyed half the Iraqi army in the Gulf War, so why the hell would anyone say that Iraq is so powerful now that they're scaring their neighbors?


They say it's scaring its neighbours because it's run by a leader with a fascination for and dedication to acquiring WMDs and has shown incredidbly bad judgement in the past.
