I look at Vietnam based on what happened to put it short.I would rather not derail this thread any further nor get into a disagreement with you about Vietnam.Even though one could argue that many mistakes made in Vietnam have occurred in our current wars which shows that we do not seem to fully learn from the mistakes of the wars that we do not win.

Also you are wrong about Iraq Al Qaeda was not even in Iraq until we invaded on the incorrect pretense that the Iraqi government was in any way related with Al Qaeda and that Iraq had chemical,biological,and nuclear weapons.If you believe the the Iraq War to have been fought over the reasons that you state then I can fully understand why you also view the Vietnam War as you do.

When did Al Qaeda show up in Iraq? In 2004.....Man Bush was not telling a lie about being preemptive was he?By the way that was after his Mission Accomplished claim.

Also 2,996 people died on 9/11 not 3000.
