Jim, We lost the Vietnam war because it was fought in a jungle. The enemy was invisible. Between technology and terrain Iraq was much easier... but the occupation is still breaking bad. When did the conservatives fall in love with nation building? That was always the province of liberals. John

When we stopped bombing Hanoi we lost the war. It just took a while to play out. Hanoi Jane helped. There you have it...20 years of Vietman abbreviated to one sentence. Who stopped the bombing Jim and when? Hanoi Jane was but a silly symbol of American opposition to the war and the very bombing of civilian centers that you say was stopped and lost us the war.

RE:"If you study the Vietman war, you will find that it was a bipartisan war in all respects. Nixon had five years to win it and couldn't." When we stopped bombing Hanoi we lost the war. It just took a while to play out. Hanoi Jane helped. This is absolutely ridiculous. An actress was able to undermine our war effort. This would be laughable if I didn't think you all took it seriously. We lost the war because the Viet Cong were better at jungle fighting then we were. I swear you and Ray and all the others will make up these ridiculous lies so that you don't have to face the truth. WE LOST THE VIETNAMESE WAR BECAUSE OUR MILITARY LEADERS FUKKED UP!! NOT BECAUSE OF WAR PROTESTERS! NOT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH EQUIPEMENT OR MEN BUT BECAUSE WE WERE NOT UP TO THE FIGHTING! DEAL WITH IT!!
