Sam; but the anti-communist fog that was common the US in the 50s and 60s blinded many people to the reality of the situation. The situation in Vietnam was quite different from the situation in Iraq, despite a few superficial similarities. But the one thing that was the same was the use of fear to support a stupid war. Fear of communist and now fear of terrorist. That the reason for going to war, and the reason people fell for the need, are much more than ...."superficial similarities". steve
