Ps. Roc, it's just a shame you got your big horses arse kicked in Vietnam, in what would otherwise have been yet another classic example of American foreign policy !

SPARE ME! Had it been a properly managed war, we probably could've kicked butt in Vietnam to the same degree it's happening in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, political correctness was already rearing it's ugly head way back then. We were too concerned about the sensitivities of other countries worldwide who were "worried" when our B-52s were rearranging Hanoi. A civil war where the "north" was trying to take over the "south" just didn't get everyone worldwide as roweled up as planes being flown into skyscrapers.
That's because the scenario at the WTC could very easily happen in YOUR country, too. A cause for concern? You bet. You'd better quite supporting Israel and put down that issue of PLAYBOY or else the same thing could very possibly happen to you. The Islamic Fundamentalists aren't going to be satisfied until we're all walking, talking, thinking, eating and sleeping just like they do.
No one can win a war with one hand tied behind their back. Vietnam was a mismanaged war, without a plain and simple focus --- victory. We were too busy trying to appease the "nervous Nellies" who feared a larger conflict.
