Bush: History to prove Iraq war worth it
President cites South Korea and Vietnam as examples
President Bush wants a nation running short on patience with the Iraq war to take a long view, comparing it to U.S. involvements in Asia that lost popular backing but eventually proved their worth and led to lasting peace
Haha what?

What the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow doesnt understand is that supporters of the Vietnam war were wrong. There was no domino effect. In fact vietnam is becoming a strong country.
Also, Do-it-yourself segways.

Someone in his admin must know that comparing Iraq to Vietnam is a BAD idea.

It's not just Bush, though.
America must remember one of the lessons of the Vietnam War. Then, as now, we fought a war with the wrong strategy for several years. And then, as now, we corrected course and began to show real progress. Many historians today believe that by about 1972 we and our South Vietnamese partners had succeeded in defeating the Vietcong insurgency and in setting South Vietnam on a path to political self-sufficiency. But America then withdrew its support, allowing the communist North to conquer the South. The consequences were dire, and not only in Vietnam: numerous deaths in places such as the killing fields of Cambodia, a newly energized and expansionist Soviet Union, and a weaker America. The consequences of abandoning Iraq would be worse.
"Things were going JUST FINE before they pulled the plug!" is kind of a common idea on the right.

wow, I work with ridiculously conservative people, but I don't think I've ever heard that. I think I would die laughing if someone told me that with a straight face.
