Vietnam and Iraq
W. made a speech yesterday in which he warned us
not to repeat the big mistake we made in Vietnam: Backing out. While getting
out of the Iraq quagmire is definitely a problem, let's not forget that some,
before the war, thought there were other lessons to be learned from
Vietnam.
"A generation shaped by Vietnam must remember the lessons of Vietnam: When America uses force in the world, the cause must be just, the goal must be clear and the victory must be overwhelming."
-- George W. Bush, August 4, 2000

"Our nation should be slow to
engage troops. But when we do so, we must do so with ferocity. We must not go
into a conflict unless we go in committed to win. We can never again ask the
military to fight a political war."
-- George W. Bush, November 15, 1999
Those are true lessons of Vietnam.
