Wrong. The Vietnam War failed because it was based on a big lie. Just like the Iraq War. The Gulf Of Tonkin attack was fabricated. Also the original logic of war in Vietnam was wrong and flawed, the entire domino theory. Just as Bush's logic in occupying Iraq and trying to pacify it into a friendly ally is badly flawed. The right way to have changed regimes in Iraq was with 90% of the world behind us, and very thorough preparation before making the foolhardy move of invading and occupying a country you cannot control. As the experts have told us, we need something like 300,000 soldiers to bring law and order to Iraq. That's twice as many as we have because Bush went it alone. Kerry's approach to Iraq was measured and smart. Bush's was reckless and now proven wrong. In fact it would be better to leave Saddam in a box than try to occupy his country without adequate help and preparation. This is a huge-huge blunder on the part of Bush and his neocons. Plus they lied to us in the process. They lied to us many many times over and over and are still lying. Which goes back to the Gulf Of Tonkin example. LBJ had the decency to step down. Bush doesn't have any such decency. In Japan, Bush would commit sepaku as the honorable punishment for failure. In Bush-world, he wants more power.
