"...What was the name of the fella that bombed the Gulf of Tonkin? Lyndon Johnson or something? Didn't he start a lotto or sumptin..................OOPS...............sorry...........it was the DRAFT!..."

Oh you betcha loco, there's plenty of blame to go around. But as you say the Vietnam war was based on phony lies much like all of our wars since WWII. Much the same as George Bush lying about WMDs in Iraq.

The rest of the world doesn't see our wars as Democrat or Republican but just another war started by AMERICA. And there's more than a few happy faces when AMERICA takes it on the chin once again by some tiny ragtag country such as Vietnam who managed to whip the Japanese, French and the Americans in recent times.

Seems to me the North Vietnamese were at the peace table when the US Congress defunded the war. We left and the South Vietnamese lost the war and millions of people.
