All This Happy Horseshit About Ending The War In Iraq

[ThomWV]

Here is the shortest history lesson you will ever need

I was in Viet Nam for years. When the "Peace Talks" began in the spring of 1968 those of us in country thought the end was in sight. Two years later when I left the war was still going on; full-tilt-boogie. The Peace Accords would not be signed for another 3 years. During every one of those 5 years from the initiation of peace talks until we abandoned the country there were millions of people in the streets protesting that war. Today we have no public show of displeasure with our war that even approaches what we saw then.

Keep that time span and level of public involvement in mind the next time you think we are going to get out Iraq within months of electing your favorite boy or girl.
