Charles:

OK, I didn't know that you were against the war in Viet Nam.

As I recall the Viet Nam War was against Communism. I was not suggesting that the current war in Iraq was against Communism. I was suggesting that the use of War to get your way in Viet Nam was not effective and it appears clear that you are not getting your way in Iraq.

You lost 50,000 men before you realized that war was not working in Viet Nam. I think by the time you lose 2000 men in Iraq, you will pull out.

The wars are not the same but the results will be the same. You will accomplish nothing but increase bad feelings toward your country.
