Yes, this war.  And before you jump and say "AHA!", better remember what "this war" is all about.  It is not about Iraq or Afghanistan.  It is about Terror.  Plain and simple.  Some people cannot understand the difference between a battle and a war.  Which is kind of funny.  For if we had confused that 140 years ago, the Confederacy would still exist.  They won the battles, just not the war.

But this war is looking like Vietnam.  How?

There are a lot of ways to look at Vietnam.  A failed experiment.  A doomed noble endeavor.  A presidents war (Johnson really did send orders to commanders!).  A war that was ill advised.

All of those, and a war we lost, not on the Battlefields (we won all of those).  But at the negotiating table.  When Kissinger signed away Vietnam, he did so thinking that the people sitting opposite him were honorable men who wanted peace.  Well, we know that is flat out wrong.  It was a dodge to get us out of there, and then take the south by force.  No one can say the NV were stupid.

But we are facing the same situation now.  We are winning all the battles.  Yet we have our Chamberlains/Kissinger's that want to see the other side, in this case Terrorists, as wanting the same thing we do.  peace.  Yet, like 30+ years ago, there is no indication they do other than the personification of the enemy by the left. 

Kerry would not be here if elected.  Gore would never have let it happen if elected.  Reid, Pelosi, Clinton (the distaff one), Schumer, et. al.  Never would be here!  They would be sitting down and talking to them, and finding out why they hate us (this was actually a comment by a liberal on another thread - we need to find out why they hate us?!?!!?!!?).

So yes, the War on TERROR is looking a lot like Vietnam.  Except this time, when we sign away a country, it will not be some dirt poor monsoon soaked sliver of land in a world 12 time zones away.

No, when we sign away a country this time, we will be signing away ours.  To their whims and desires.  And while we clasp each other on the back and give ourselves the high fives and congratulations, and kudos, they will be planning their final assault.  And we will wake up facing mecca and bowing to Allah, and people will still be wondering "how did it happen"?

Because this is not a war for a far away place.  This is a war for our freedom.  But more and more, the democrats are turning that into a question of "why cant we just get along?".  Never asking why they cant just go home and live.  No, We have to find out why they hate us.

Spain caved.  And what did Al Zawahiri say?  They will not rest until every Muslim country, from Iraq to SPAIN is once again Muslim.

If this turns out to be Vietnam, it will not be Bush's fault.  The fault lies with the Neville Chamberlains and the rest that ignore history.  Because no one has challenged them in too long.
